Coaching and Mentoring For Managers
Course Overview
Part of your responsibility as a manager is to boost employee performance-and what better way to do
that than through coaching and mentoring? Developing your skills as a coach and mentor will help
you solve existing performance problems and develop employee capabilities. This book will help
you identify the individuals who could benefit from coaching and mentoring and know the steps to
take to do it right.
This workshop is designed to develop the role of managers (team leaders) as coaches, counsellors
and effective motivators. This training goes beyond traditional management skills to teach team
leaders to tap the potential, wisdom and rich experience which resides in every workforce and,
likewise, to ensure that team members are receiving the full benefit of their leader’s insight and
experience. The techniques of coaching and mentoring provide the emotional nourishment and
energy needed to transform team members and carry forward the best traditions the company. An
entire value system is communicated throughout an organization by those who mentor others. This is
the same way values and ethics are shared in a family – by work and deed. Mentoring is an effective
vehicle for driving your strategy and gaining a competitive edge.
