Mentoring & Coaching To Unlock
Individual Potential
Most people think of mentoring as a benefit
to the mentee, but it also provides benefits
for the mentor and your organization. It
helps mentors and managers develop the
skills they need to lead a team. A good
mentor can inspire and educate their staff,
making them far more productive resulting
in far better quality products and
deliverables.
A good mentor will develop and learn a
number of life skills:
1.
Active listening: including engaging
people with meaningful questions.
2.
Empathy: putting yourself in someone
elses shoes.
3.
Encouragement: helping others see
something good in themselves.
4.
Coaching: Through proper coaching
and mentoring, people can reach their
full potential and as a result will deliver
the highest level of performance. People
managers, leaders and mentors who
demonstrate good coaching and
mentoring skills tend to have the most
productive teams.
