Holiday Mentor

Its almost Christmas and I am enjoying the time that I have with my new coworkers. My mentor has given me support that has edged me to become a fulfilled MIT. There is still a lot more to learn and its going to take about another month here at my assigned training site to get it together. Today I have experienced a comraderie amongst managers that I have not seen in over three months. We gave my mentor a gift that we all chipped in for and he was grateful for it but also reserved in a way that he didnt show favorites and thanked everyone evenly. I would like to be just like my mentor someday. To develop a management team in a matter of a year that works together well and follows up with each other seemed very easy for him. I want to learn his secrets and be able to implement it with the team that I will be developing when I move on to my new assignment. Right now I feel great to be part of my mentor's team eventhough it will only be a short time from now that we will be parting ways in order for me to then handle a group that needs my support and leadership.
