Developing a mentoring process with existing managers is a way to create discussion a shared language of work between the leaders being developed and those that are already doing the work. Bringing the leadership development to a pragmatic level placing the focus on what matters; Seeing the work get done and having the opportunity to ask questions, and have someone with skilled-knowledge answer those questions.
The talent pool development and mentor training process aligns individual aspirations and competencies with the company’s current and future needs so that the interests of both can be served.
Mentoring vs. Coaching. Both functions are necessary in a successful organization and team. However often times both (mentoring, coaching) fail because no-one is accountable for doing it.
In order to maintain top talent; ALL LEADERS MUST mentor and coach. In order for work to be successful people have to continually move towards their potential capacity. This can only happen with mentoring and coaching.
