Re: What to do when mentors are leading the team in the wrong direction?

Unfortunately, a team lead by mentors is OK by the idea of first. The job as students is to be inspired. I do not agree with this, and the students should lead the process. My team has had a similar issue where a few mentors were pulling the team in a direction the students did not.

Here is what we did: A few of the student talked to the head mentor about how we were not happy with the direction a few mentors were pulling the team. We had a meeting with the whole team to try to re-adjust our approach, and try to make decisions more team-centered. So far, it seems to have worked.

I would recommend voicing your opinions to the mentor you feel confident will take your concerns and try to make a change. Hopefully you feel this is a an option.
