Beautiful piece!! Jobs certainly touched many lives and probably one of the few men our children and children’s children will respect and look up to!

Comment on Why businesses need coaches or mentors by Patrick

I agree. I don’t have the martial arts background that you do, but rather the regular team sports of football and rugby, however I think the analogy is even stronger for those sports.

In both of them there is a captain on the field (CEO), but in both of them it is hard to see the bigger picture when you are in the middle of the match. Not only do you need someone to review the bigger picture and offer insight into tactics, but also someone to look at your individual performance.

An approach that I like is where you choose peers and be co-mentors for each other. If you pick people that you know and trust and that have complementary skills to yours, then this can be an effective “coaching” team for you.
