SUMMARY:Effective Coaching and Mentoring
DESCRIPTION:Coaching and mentoring staff are two important ways to retain top talent and build a leadership pipeline. But many people don’t even know that they are two different things! \nCoaching focuses on enhancing current job performance.

Both are important. \nWhy should you make time to coach and mentor employees? Not only will it empower your staff and enhance company effectiveness; it also changes how others think of you. People who mentor and advocate for others are perceived as more effective leaders. \nEven your most talented employees will benefit from supportive coaching and mentoring. Don’t leave top performers to languish while you work with staff who struggle! \nGreat leaders need to be mentored\, and great leaders need to mentor.
