Working Theory of Leadership

Mentor’s Corner

More than one way to see the same thing.

Mentors can add their own take on any piece. The original essay stays the starting point. Each mentor profile and each take needs approval before it appears.

No comments, replies, or reactions. Just another leader’s perspective alongside the piece.

Sign in with your KTHQ account to apply as a mentor. Applications are reviewed before approval.

Applications are reviewed by hand. You apply once; after you are approved, the take box at the bottom of each piece works for you. To follow up, use the contact page.

Your verified account email stays private. This mentor name does not change your forum name.

A few sentences. It shows on your profile and above every take you write.

Writing in a personal capacity, you retain ownership of your writing and grant KTHQ permission to publish it. Contributions must contain no CUI, no PII about third parties, and no naming a person in a bad light.

Every mentor writes in a personal capacity. Their views do not represent the U.S. Air Force, Department of Defense, any government agency, or KTHQ.
