I was in a 1:1 the other day and my mentee and I were discussing what makes a good consultant.  The desire to learn was the main focus of our conversation, and we both agreed that to be a rock star, you should always want to learn and improve.  Since my mentee is just starting his future as a Project Manager and building his leadership skills, I cautioned him to pay close attention to his team. Some people may not have the quality we were discussing. Others, perhaps, may be too afraid to do anything with their desire to learn and grow.  Ralph Waldo Emerson is credited with say “Fear defeats more people than any other one thing.” Where are you noticing fear show up within or around you, and what are you doing about it?
