Guru or Coach – Who do want to learn from?
To grow it is imperative to find mentors not gurus to learn from and grow professionally, this should help to make the distinction.

Has the secrets | Open & willing to share |
Quick with putdowns | Quick to praise and uplift |
Dispenses and the Kool-Aid & expects all to drink | Water |
