Are you mentoring yourService Executive?
In working with the unit service executive, the correct orientation is to work with them as a peer.It’s not uncommon for the DC to be older than the executive, but they should not relate to the district executive as a son or daughter; instead, they should relate as equals.The DC should help the DE succeed. A common role for the district commissioner is to act as a mentor or coach to the district executive, working to develop a meaningful working relationship.
