 Today, we celebrate the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In doing a brief search on Dr. King, we found two educators among the people that Dr. King looked to for mentorship. Dr. Benjamin Mays was the president of Morehouse College when Dr. King was a student there. He called Dr. Mays his great spiritual mentor. Another mentor in Dr. King's life was Howard Thurman. As a mentor, Howard Thurman took time to engage his students in deep conversation about their unrealized potential. In Dr. Brad Johnson's book, Elements of Mentoring, he discusses elements of master mentors and talks about some of the same things that Dr. Benjamin Mays and Howard Thurman did for Dr. King. Students such as unearthing the dream and stimulating growth with challenging assignments are two things he discusses. These mentoring skills help Dr. King and can help you lead a learning organization. Who and how do you mentor? Lead well this week.
