Advantages of mentoring and coaching
As discussed in this paper, caching and mentoring have many advantages for effective
management to take place. The two processes benefits the mentor, the learner as well as the
organization as a whole. In addition, these processes, enhances good relationships between
the employees and between the managers and the employees. Actually, the mentorship
process makes the employee view the manager as mentors and not their employers. This
creates trust and a feeling of closeness as the employees are convinced that the managers are
willing to assist them in the attainment of the set goals. Therefore, the managers cease to be
viewed as mere supervisors of activities. In this regard mentorship goes beyond the
professional level of both the mentor and the employer. The two parties tend to become more
personally involved in their interactions (Brophy, 2010).
When mentorship and is focused on improvement of employees’ performance, the
involved parties may find it necessary to address the personal issues. However, when the
mentorship and coaching is implemented in an organization, there is overall; development of
the individuals as well as the general organization. This is the main reason why many
organizations carry out the mentoring and coaching procedures. In essence, such
organizations attain a high level of harmony between the employees and between both the
employers and the employees. Such kind of harmony is vital as it increased productivity
while making the employees derive great satisfaction at the work place. Psychologically, job
