You’re Never Too Old–or Too Successful–to Need a Mentor

Recently, I had lunch with an accomplished and slightly older CEO who had served as board chair of the corporation at which I had my first senior position. Not having seen him in years, I was delighted to catch up. But I was exhilarated when he expressed personal interest in my career, observed my success and challenged me to reach higher. Upon parting, I blurted out an awkward gratitude: "Thank you so much for your advice. It was so great to get, as all my mentors have died."
