Description:
The development of personal and professional competencies in present and future leaders is critical to the success of technologically-driven organizations, businesses, and society as a whole. Personal development occurs because of individual drive and motivation but may be enhanced through well-thought out and executed coaching and mentoring strategies. When managers and/or leaders routinely communicate a genuine interest in helping their employees develop, and combine this with positive evaluation skills, they create opportunities for learning. The coaching and communication skills that enable this process can also be used to develop highly effective mentoring programs that can enhance and facilitate employee socialization and advancement in the workplace. In this class, you will have the opportunity to identify coaching opportunities, enhance your communication skills, develop and implement coaching and mentoring strategies, and evaluate the outcomes of these strategies. Through case problems and role plays, you will hone your personal coaching mentoring skills and create both formal and informal mentoring programs within the organization of your choice.
