Coaching and Mentoring are the two strategic pillars of a business organisation without which the employees would be mere robots working without job satisfaction.
The Definition. A coach is someone who provides guidance to a client on their goals and helps them reach their full potential. A mentor is someone who shares their knowledge, skills and/or experience, to help another to develop and grow.
The main purpose of coaching is to develop the employee as an effective perfomer. It involves the following:
1) Helping him to realise his potential as a manager.
2) Helping him to understand himself – his strengths and his weaknesses.
3) Providing him an opportunity to acquire more insight into his behaviour, and analyse the dynamics of such behaviour.
4) Helping him to have better understanding of the environment.
5) Increasing his personal and inter-personal effectiveness through effective feedback.
6) Encouraging him to set goals for further improvement.
7) Encouraging him to generate alternatives for dealing with his problems and prepare an action plan.
8) Helping him to review in a non-threatening way his progress in achieving various objectives.
9) Providing empathetic atmosphere for sharing and discussing his tensions, conflicts, concerns and problems.
