In his new book, Discover Your True North , Bill George reminds us of the importance of making mentoring a two-way street . He explains that, "the best mentoring interactions spark mutual learning, exploration of similar values, and shared enjoyment.

He adds that, "many people are afraid to approach potential mentors because they do not want to impose on others. They fail to realize how much they can offer to their mentors."
