Re: Mentors VS Students

If the mentors and students on a team are not seeing eye to eye or are having issues with who is supposed to do what, it seems that you may need to try some team building. Now that the build season is coming to a close, try taking a little time to get to know each other.

When a trust begins to develop, it is easier for mentors to turn tasks over to the students and let them incorporate their own ideas.

As a teacher, I recognize the difficulty of getting to know a new group of people over and over again. You worry about keeping things safe and making them work out for everyone. But if you establish a trust at the beginning of the season, you will have a more productive and comfortable build.

You need to accomplish this in the off season or pre-build.
