Clarifying the finer points of management, Couching Counseling, and Mentoring, by MWorld journal editor Florence M. Stone, discusses when to exercise these skills and how to use them most effectively. A revised and updated version of the classic management primer, the book shines light on achieving goals that are often hard to balance.
The author shows how to straddle a fine line as you handle the most crucial difficulties. In regards to coaching, Stone shows how to teach skills without resorting to an overbearing approach, and in doing so, cultivate employees who gain the right knowledge, as well as a sense of independence. Likewise, she gives the reader a sense of how to admonish, suspend and even discharge sub-par workers while documenting that you’ve been fair and law-abiding, an absolute necessity in today’s business environment flooded with charges of discriminatory practice. Finally, when it comes to mentoring, the author imparts how to help your best employees reach their larger aspirations even as they maintain loyalty towards your business.
Clear and detailed, Couching, Counseling, & Mentoring examines these common management issues, and many more. After reading the book, you will feel an underlying sense of confidence for handling any management scenario.
