Last week, in part# 1, we discussed the differences and similarities between coaching and mentoring in light of both personal and business growth.  Now, in part#2, we will talk about "how" and "why" these two management approaches can be a cost-effective way to train employees, support personnel, boost morale, and increase productivity.

Did you know that a company is only as good as its employees?  This is why high-performing businesses and organizations put heavy emphasis on personal attributes in the selection and training of staff.

While formal, company-wide training courses can bring about a sweeping transfer of knowledge, attitudes, experience, skills, behaviors, aspirations, or leadership required to carry out challenging tasks, they fall short of bringing out employees’ full potential.

If you are serious about providing the right environment that foster growth, not just for your employees but also for your small business, then you better start looking into coaching and mentoring schemes.
