Coaching and Mentoring

Part 1: Coaching and how it works?

Introduction

If you survey a group of CEOs and executives and ask them what their most important asset is that say, "People." (PD, 2001) If one were to ask the same panel of leaders so the only thing they lack in your organization's response would probably be "trained and developed." While many organizations spend countless dollars in training, seminars and development courses, others tend to leave this important issue of human resources at random. Is it possible to create that synergy within an organization's leaders seldom seen outside the organization for promotion? Is it possible for an organization to improve its human resource development and identify a substantial contribution to overall business success of that organization? (Jenny, 2008)
