Coaching and Mentoring by Nigel Maclennan
The coaching/mentoring approach is probably the most effective way of helping others to achieve optimum performance in the workplace. Dr MacLennan's book covers the entire subject from basic skills to designing and implementing a tailor-made coaching and mentoring system. He starts by explaining the nature of achievement and the factors that determine it, and then introduces a seven-stage model that will enable managers and supervisors to encourage their people to develop their skills. He examines the problems commonly encountered and shows how to overcome them or, in some cases, turn them to positive account. The book is interactive throughout, using cartoons, humour, self-assessment questions, case studies and illustrations to reinforce the text. A particularly valuable feature is a set of checklists that together summarize the key elements involved. Coaching and Mentoring is, quite simply, a comprehensive manual of the best methods known today of helping people to succeed.
'.. comprehensive guide ... Clearly laid-out and easy to use ... Checklists are particularly useful for quick reference' Personnel Today '... packed with useful information and written by someone who not only knows what he is talking about, but has the happy knack of presenting his information in an interesting yet educationally sound manner ... The text is excellent as are the exercises and the checklists.' Modern Management '... a comprehensive manual for helping people succeed.' Aslib '... it is an encyclopedia of people management skills ... The checklists alone make it a valuable resource to have on the shelf.' Management 'This book, in many ways, forms a complete training programme for its users ... MacLennan's unusual seven-stage model is pragmatic and functional and will definitely appeal to those who like their models to exist in the real world!' Training Officer
