C2 Corner: How I Mentor

This piece is a leadership-focused article on mentoring in cybersecurity, introduced by Chris Camacho and authored by Jim Routh, detailing why and how he mentors. It distinguishes mentoring from coaching/management, then lays out principles (mentee ownership, availability, usefulness over time, universal value, commitment) and practical practices (mentee schedules and sets agenda, strict confidentiality, adaptive cadence, ongoing development). Framed around the challenges of the CISO role, it argues that mentoring builds leadership capacity and continuity across generations in the security community.
