GC is implementing some of the Total-Quality Philosophy as outlined by David Goestch and Stanley Davis in the "Total-Quality Handbook," to help establish and improve upon the leadership skills of our members. I will be publishing several articles such as this periodically here on the website and these ideas will also be discussed in detail at our weekly founders meeting.

MENTORING

Effective mentors help team members in the following ways:

• Developing their rank related competence
• Building character
• Teaching them the community culture
• Teaching them how to get things done in the organization
• Helping them understand other people and their viewpoints
• Teaching them how to behave in unfamiliar settings or circumstances
• Giving them insight into differences among people
• Helping them develop success-oriented values
