CHIEF'S CORNER
MENTORING
A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
BY JOHN COLLINS
I WAS THINKING THE OTHER DAY ABOUT MENTORING AND WHO
HAD BEEN MENTORS TO ME ALONG MY LIFE. Of course, there are
my parents, a couple of Sunday School teachers and youth group
leaders, some schoolteachers, and a professor or two from college.
But what about professionally? Who's mentored me in my career
and challenged my thinking on flying and flight instruction, who
do I turn to when I have a question that perplexes me and keeps
me up at night? Don't worry, I'm not going to name names, but
I have a handful of trusted individuals who get that call or text.
One isn't even instructing anymore but I respect and value his
judgment. He taught me that to take somebody from the known
to the unknown, I have to give them a hook to hang that new
knowledge on. Let me explain.
