William Gray has produced an epic work on formalized mentoring relationships that work. Bill’s work is significant in breaking new ground for understanding the importance of the journey for both the mentor and protege to succeed. Equally important are the tools provided to guide both parties. These tools are like road-signs or directions on a GPS. They guide you to the right destination with the fewest delays. Bill is responsible for my personal success as a mentor, at two organizations (Air National Guard and Defense Supply Center Columbus) where I helped introduce the formalized mentoring program concept.
