I checked in with more than a dozen top executives who credit their mentors with helping them achieve great things. Here's the advice they remember most.
1. If you're going to be in the room, be useful.
"It was advice my first boss gave me after he invited me to join a big client pitch, and I sat in silence taking notes the entire time thinking that was my place. It's advice I took to heart from that day on, and it's been incredibly important while building a startup where things only happen if you make them happen."
--Chris Toy, CEO and founder of Bindle, the mobile app bringing people together with shareable chats
