I just read a quote by actor Kevin Spacey: "If you are lucky enough to do well, it's your responsibility to send the elevator back down."
So true and something in the public sector we do not do enough of in our work environments. Too often we leave it up to our colleagues and employees to figure out how to get help and mentoring. We need to develop programs that are part of our work environments. We need to be what Warren Bennis called "social architects" who help shape the culture of work.
We need to make sure that our work cultures include opportunities for mentoring and partnering. We need to make sure that it is okay to ask for guidance, to ask for guidance in innovating and know that it is part of the work culture.
