The chorus of a classic 1960s popular song begins with the line “I'll get by with a little help from my friends”. Trends may have regularly come and gone since then but the sentiments expressed in the words remain just as relevant today. In the world of business, the growing importance of mentoring serves to illustrate the point. With competition intense and expectation high, an increasing number of senior managers are feeling the need to secure the services of an outside coach, mentor or consultant. Success and failure are often separated by the narrowest of divides and this additional support can help in the quest to end up on the right side of the margin.
The paper provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
