Re: The 6 Week Build Season and 'Mentor Burnout'

Well, apparently not everyone is "burned out"...

A) You're still surfing Chief Delphi

B) 90+ teams have signed up for IRI

While the title of the thread is relating the six week build period to mentor burnout, I think Jim's posts have really helped me refocus my opinions on the six week build period to consider the teams with lower performing machines... many of whom are not on CD.

I'll go so far as to say that whether the build period is six weeks, or 52 weeks, some teams will continue to put in more time than others, and some mentors will continue to feel "burned out".

But if we look at how altering the six week build period might give higher performing teams more time to mentor and assist lower performing teams, and focus on making everyone better... well, the best antidote to burnout is success!
