Product Description
For a decade, The Mentor has been considered one of the most practical and informative references available to U.S. Army Leaders. The data, references, advice, and example documents that thousands have come to expect from The Mentor have all returned in force. The content, updated in accordance with current doctrine, has been reorganized for easier readability. It's new format makes it your “quick and dirty” guide for all your leadership issues.
Learn to counsel, evaluate, correct, and initiate adverse actions in a fashion that will achieve positive results. Your primary goal as a leader is to grow, shape, and mold your team to be as mission-effective as possible. Some leaders will choose to do this by brute strength or force of will. This book focuses on building a cohesive unit by following simple principles that foster good will and show your Soldiers that you care.
The Mentor is well-known for containing numerous counseling examples that give leaders a starting point for filling out the DA FORM 4856 (Developmental Counseling Form) in a manner that addresses many common scenarios. The counseling forms eachcome complete with a listing of applicable references that address the situation at hand. Also new to this edition, the example counselings include text in the assessment block. Did the Soldier follow the plan of action? Were they successful in turning around their poor behavior? Failing to document these resolutions is irresponsible and is one of the key signs of a sloppy leader.
This book is one of Mentor Enterprises' flagship products and a Mentor Military best seller. The Mentor is a down to earth leadership and counseling book that gets to the point. It makes an excellent reference for yourself and a wonderful gift for newly promoted NCOs and Officers.
