Re: I feel this needs to be said...(Grades & FIRST Dedication)
Our team has an open door policy. You are welcome if you do the work. Sometimes it takes half the year for the team member to understand what that means. I've worked with the team for several years and have never seen a team member turned away. It's important for the mentors to help the process and it's important for the team members to accept this policy and welcome new members each year. A new team member learns so much the first year that when they return the 2nd year, they have changed in so many ways, it almost seems like they are a different person. If you have all one type of person your team can't expand in the areas it needs to.
