- Title
Think Strategically: Some Advice for Being a Great Mentor with a Great Research Program.
- Authors
Worthington Jr., Everett L.
- Abstract
I provide advice about establishing and maintaining a viable research program that involves active graduate students who both learn the skills of research and participate frequently in the parts of research that they enjoy. As a first step, the faculty member must have an ambitious program of research. One needs graduate student, postdoc, therapist, and faculty colleagues as collaborators, and one must assay one's research skills and capabilities realistically. I offer a dozen guidelines that are organized around vision, passion, risk, developing one's own positive character, and relying on God. I describe four leadership qualities needed to succeed: Rely on sound foundational principles, hone one's moral GPS system that re-orients one to the foundational principles in times of emotion and conflict, be guided by a compelling vision, and learn to build consensus. I close with specific advice for selecting and advising graduate students during their time as graduate students.
