| Summary |
"Covering both the theory and practice of coaching and mentoring, ranging from the world of work to education to community action, the book demonstrates how important it is to relate theoretical models to specific situations in order to gain real practical benefits. The authors offer new insights into, and examples of, such issues as matching staff, and fresh ways of giving feedback and asking the right questions. While they provide both best-practice approaches and proven solutions, they also explain that where coaching and mentoring are concerned, simplicity is often the ideal solution. To facilitate his goal they outline 'Seven Golden Rules of Simplicity'." "This practical introduction to an increasingly widely used practice will prove invaluable to all those wanting to help people to increase and improve their ability to maximize their potential, learn new skills, improve performance and become the person they want to be."--BOOK JACKET |
