<strong>Mentoring</strong> <strong>Future</strong> <strong>Leaders</strong><br />

“When helping to build skills, great coaches – in contrast to great psychologists –<br />

typically do not delve deeply into the coachee’s psyche. They work with, and<br />

provide feedback on, perceived behaviours and actions.” (p.84)<br />

Do …. Don’t ….<br />

• Focus on helping the coachee with<br />

specific tasks.<br />

• Be business-like and frank.<br />

• Focus on work issues.<br />

• Moderate the amount and depth of<br />

coaching.<br />

• Refer people with major personal<br />

problems to a qualified counsellor.<br />

Performance Coaching vs. <strong>
</strong><br />

<strong>Mentoring</strong> and Life Coaching<br />

Do you agree with David Clutterbuck’s viewpoint?<br />

“While coaching and mentoring share some tools and approaches,<br />

coaching is primarily focused on performance within the current job and<br />

emphasises the development of skills. <strong>Mentoring</strong> is primarily focused on<br />

longer term goals and on developing capability.” (2001, p26)<br />

The Focus of <strong>Mentoring</strong><br />

Change and<br />

transition<br />

• Uncover underlying problems.<br />

• Try to be too accommodating.<br />

• Look for deep, unconscious motives.<br />

• Delve into the core of the psyche.<br />

• Bite off more than you can chew.<br />
