Leading, rather than managing, is in and of itself a form of mentorship that creates the more leadership and ultimately corporate excellence. Thank you Chris, for saying it so well!

I especially agree that people need to feel they have a confident and consistent leader. A heavy sway towards trying to over-manage people leads us down the path of setting the expectation they "need" to be managed, and therefore will not learn to manage themselves. Setting clear goals at the start, and engaging others to participate in the process will lead to people self-managing and a greater buy in on the overall vision. If the vision is not clearly communicated, then that buy in will never happen. Essentially all you will have are individual goals, not a single clear path for all to follow. Exceptional post.
