The Value Of A Mentor
by GREENE
I attended Basic Leadership Training in 1996 when I became a Team Leader in my Point Program and was introduced to the idea of mentoring for the first time. I had the privilege of receiving some of the finest father-like teachers throughout those years of early leadership and the lessons I received then have shaped the leader and teacher I have become today.
As a mentor, I get to sharpen my tools, share my personal context, connect with my heart and ask the tough questions of the men I am charged with training. There is no better way to stay connected to all that we stand for than to show men the qualities we would like them to embody as leaders.
As we have all learned, A team reflects its leader and A mentor cannot ask a man to do anything he is not first willing to do himself.
Now, that is how I keep my masculine edge!
