https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-makes-a-good-leader-and-mentor-for-todays-soldiers-sailors-airmen-marines <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have been in the Navy for 8 years and have seen good leadership, bad leadership, good mentoring, and bad mentoring. The longer I stay in the more I wonder what really makes a good leader and mentor. I know everyone has their own opinions and that is exactly what I am looking for. I want to be the best leader and mentor that I can, but I realize to do that without seeking guidance would be crazy. When you say someone makes a good leader what qualities make them so? The same for mentors. Then on the other hand if someone is a bad leader or mentor what made it &quot;seem&quot; that way? I know perception is reality in a way. Also, what did you take from them that helps you be better? Thank you in advance.<br /><br />v/r,<br /><br />PO2 Roane Tue, 06 Jan 2015 14:22:40 -0500 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/what-makes-a-good-leader-and-mentor-for-todays-soldiers-sailors-airmen-marines <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I have been in the Navy for 8 years and have seen good leadership, bad leadership, good mentoring, and bad mentoring.
