You can only mentor a few, and that means that your mentoring focus needs to be on the first and second generations.
Talking Points:
- Start with your mentoring tree. Choose who you want to mentor and then make sure that person is equipped to mentor someone else. The goal is to make mentors who can make more mentors.
- The Law of 2 generations is simply that you know who you’re mentoring (first generation) and you know the names of who that person mentors (second generation).
Discussion:
- Initial reactions to this topic? What jumped out at you?
- Fill out your personal mentoring tree. Who will you directly mentor? Who do you think they may be able to mentor?
- Why is your mentoring system and tools so important with the Law of 2 Generations in mind? What will happen to future generations if your system is haphazard?
- Name a team or organization that has a mentoring culture. Describe how they do it.
- Name a team or organization that lacks a mentoring culture. How do you think that organization will look in 50 years?
- Read 2 Timothy 2:2. How does this illustrate the Mentoring Law of 2 Generations?
- Is there a step you need to take based on today’s topic?
