BACKGROUND WHO ? COACHING ? MENTOR ?

DEFINITION COACHING AND MENTORING

  COACHING Fournies, F. F (2000) define “Coaching as a face-to-face

discussion between a manager and a subordinate to get the subordinate to stop performing undesirable behaviors and begin performing desirable ones”   Kinslaw, D. C. (1999) define “Coaching as a mutual conversation between a manager and an employee (or between colleagues) that follow a predictable process and lead to superior performance, commitment to sustained improvement and positive relationship” 

MENTOR  (Society for Human Resource Management)

define “A career development method whereby less experienced employees are matched with more experienced colleagues for guidance either through formal or informal programs.”

 (A Dictionary of Human Resource Management) define

“The process whereby a senior employee takes an active role in developing a junior colleague. Typically this occurs at managerial level or amongst professions. The mentor provides advice on how the mentee can develop his or her skills, competencies, knowledge, and experience in order to progress along a successful career path. As well as giving advice, the mentor might also prove useful in providing contacts that help the mentee to engage in the process of networking.”

Cont…  Donaldson, Ensher, & Grant-Vallone, (2000). Traditionally, mentoring is viewed

as a dyadic, face-to-face, long-term relationship between a supervisory adult and a novice student that fosters the mentee’s professional, academic, or personal development. It is important to acknowledge that the term “mentor” is borrowed from the male guide,  Bird & Didion, (1992). Mentor, in Greek mythology, and this historical context

has informed traditional manifestations of mentoring. The traditional model is but one configuration of mentoring within a wide range of possible models that vary in their structure and function. As for structure, mentoring can involve a one-on-one relationship or a network of multiple mentors.  Kasprisin, Boyle Single, Single, & Muller, 2003; Packard, (2003b). Furthermore,

mentoring relationships can be informal or formally assigned, long-term or short-term in nature, and convened electronically or face-to- face.

in helping people (or groups) acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to complete a task or fulfill a role. They want to get people to DO something. Thus they manage their leadership style as appropriate to facilitate task or organizational accomplishment. 

Transformational
