Description
The Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) is a crucial part of the U.S. Army's effectiveness and capabilities. While the Army has had remarkable success in improving NCO professional education, Develops Others doggedly remains the leadership competency rated as least effective for NCOs. Professional mentoring can address that gap, but only if NCOs understand how mentoring works in practice. The Army NCO's Guide to Mentoring contains real mentoring stories from real NCOs, describing the nuances, strengths, and weaknesses of their actions. It is the only work of its kind to use real stories, collected by a West Point researcher, to lay out the power of NCO mentoring practice. The book starts with a quick summary of cutting-edge research in the field to acquaint the reader with the latest mentoring trends. It then deftly describes the benefits of NCO mentoring, along with mentoring practices and contexts. It concludes with a comparison of officer and NCO mentoring, highlighting the similarities and differences between the two. The Army NCO's Guide to Mentoring is a must-read for anyone interested in Army leader professional development. It is the second volume of the Guides to Army Mentoring series, after The Army Officer's Guide to Mentoring
