Buy 🎉 BYRRD The Mentor: Everything You Need To Know About Leadership And Counseling 😍

By CSM (R) Mark Gerecht. Paperback book. 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. Its 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 each come complete with a listing of applicable references that address the situation at hand. The example counselings also 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. “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.
