Employees want to perform well and they want to be held accountgable. As leaders and managers we have an obligation to our employees to help them realize their maximum potential. This can only be accomplished with training that is backed up by the coaching and mentoring process. Invest in training your management staff in coaching and mentoring and the results may be astonishing with regard to overall employee performance. Keep in mind the number one reason people leave their current employer is due to their immediate supervisor.

Make no mistake, coaching and mentoring is about leadership. It is difficult to be a coach or a mentor without leadership skills. Coaching and mentoring is all about the development of others. It requires effective development activities and projects related to current and future performance expectations. It requires the unique ability to recognize potential skill and ability in others that is worthy of development. A good coach or mentor possesses an innate ability to motivate and inspire others to achieve stretch goals. They have the ability, the knowledge and the sensitivity to generate an adaptive style according to the individual and circumstances at hand earning respect and trust.
