Manager as Coach and Mentor

(WSP 153)

An obvious truth: you can’t do it all. Managers need to be strategic about their time and learn to delegate. To delegate successfully you need your staff to perform and execute skillfully. This is why effective delegation must include both raising your staff’s capabilities and supporting their learning. The manager’s most powerful tool for that purpose is coaching, which helps your employees perform competently and successfully. Furthermore, mentoring helps guide an employee down a path toward a meaningful career and deepens the relationship between the manager and the employee.

In this workshop, we will focus on increasing the coaching and mentoring skills of participants while creating an experiential environment for active learning. Participants will review and practice powerful tools and processes to make coaching effective and practical in the work environment.

Due to its short format, this workshop cannot be taken for Credit.
