Top innovators don't operate in a vacuum. They soak up ideas from everyone.
Perhaps the best source of ideas and inspiration comes from mentors. The right mentor can unleash your creativity and help turn your grand vision into a profitable reality.
The best mentoring relationships are built on mutual trust. Both parties learn from each other and share challenges they face. "Mentors are often unseen accelerators behind innovators," said Britney Cole, chief innovation officer at Blanchard, an Escondido, Calif.-based leadership and management training firm. "They give innovators the courage to continue on (when facing roadblocks). They are fantastic role models."
