Do you find yourself with too little time—and with too few resources with the necessary knowledge and skill to do the work that needs to be done? Are resource or performance issues creating roadblocks to your own success, and to the success of others? Imagine the benefits you and your organization would realize if you could apply proven techniques to delegate successfully and to achieve the results you want— whether you have formal authority or not.

Coaching and Mentoring for Improved Performance will teach you how to apply a powerful behavioral coaching and mentoring model and a set of integrated tools that will improve the quality, efficiency and effectiveness of your coaching with lasting results— whether with direct reports, peers or those in more senior positions. Through practical exercises, group discussions and case studies, you will determine what work can be assigned and to whom based on current performance levels and work load. You’ll also learn how to delegate work with improved clarity and efficiency in order to establish a strong foundation for success.
