Describes how managers can develop coaching and mentoring skills, offering tips on ways to motivate employees, develop visions and goals, tackle conflicts, interview prospective employees, and deal with personal lives of employees.
This book is a fantastic guide and reference for new and old managers. It sticks to the basics, sets you on the right path, and reminds you of what's important! I love that it's a basic, slap on the forehead method.
I found this book to be engaging and enlightening because of its basic approach to the concepts of coaching and mentoring. The author applies the principles and practices in a method that conveys ease and appropriateness. This has been part of my library for years.
This book could have condensed its most salient points to about 5 pages. I feel as if you're reading this book, you've got a long way to go before you can enter into a coach or mentoring relationship. Too surface level, even for a general introduction book.
I need to coach who bunch of people - so figured I need to do better than my usual ad hocing. This is a good first book to get the basics (e.g, mentoring vs. coaching, basic do's and don'ts...) out of the way. Quick read.
This book is a great and thorough introduction to the art of coaching and mentoring. It is a must read for individuals who work for companies that have adopted this style of management.
