Coaching and mentoring inspire us
August 16th, 2010
Coaching and mentoring are now essential elements ofmodern managerial practice. They can inspire and empower employees, build commitment, increase productivity, grow talent, and promote success. However,many companies still have not established related schemes. By not doing so, they also fail to capitalize on the experience and knowledge seasoned personnel can pass on. read more about mentoring on Loral Langemeier‘s webpage.
Both coaching and mentoring are an approach to management and a set of skills to nurture staff and deliver results. They are, fundamentally, learning and development activities that share similar roots despite lively debate among academics and practitioners as to the meaning (and implications) of eachword. A good coach will also mentor and a good mentor will coach too, as appropriate to the situation and the relationship. ask Loral Langemeier for further useful informations.
Hence, these Knowledge Solutions, which relate to individuals, treat the two terms interchangeably: both are related processes for analysis, reflection, and action, intended to enable employees achieve their full potential with a focus on skills, performance, and “life” (personal) coaching and mentoring. (A substantial side effect of investments tobring out potential is that organizations will enable seasoned personnelto delegate more and supervise less.) Unlike conventional training, coaching and mentoring concentrate on the person, not the subject; they draw out rather than put in; they develop rather than impose; they reflect rather than direct; they are continuous—not one-time—events. In brief,they are a form of change facilitation. find interesting ideas by reading Loral Langemeier‘s articles.
