Agree. Teams that don't utilize mentors well, don't do well. Unfortunately, the opposite may not be true.
I just have two questions on this:

1) What top teams did you talk to to determine that a lot of top teams work by keeping their mentors hands-off?

2) Could you elaborate on how a team can utilize mentors well?
