Chapter 14. Key Partners: Supporting Growth

 

“What I have come to learn is that young people are far more capable than we think they are. If you just give them the ball and help them as they run with it, you’ll be surprised almost every time.”

 
 --Roger Mowen, Sr. Vice President of Marketing, Eastman Chemical

Throughout our book we have referred to three individuals who play the key roles in the day-to-day growth of Acceleration Pool members: the pool member, the manager to whom the pool member reports, and the pool member’s mentor. In this chapter we explore their roles and responsibilities further and suggest orientation, training, and reinforcement techniques necessary to make the partnership work.
