Mentoring

Mentoring is a relationship in which knowledge and skills are shared between members in a way in which everyone benefits. Often a more senior person is mentoring a junior person, but mentorship can happen between any two individuals. Mentoring will help Airmen and Guardians discover their strengths by achieving their full potential through a structured, trusting mentoring relationship.

Mission command is a way of operating that prioritizes clear communication from the top down, often reducing or limiting the step-by-step instruction, while empowering the individuals responsible for carrying out the mission to utilize their talents and skills to accomplish their tasks in order to create a more agile operating environment. Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force David Flosi and LeMay Center's Major General Parker Wright discuss building a culture within organizations that is geared towards mission command and the necessity of this structural change to the warfighter's future success.
