Daisy Wright — Fri, 04 May 2012 14:06:15 GMT

TALENT MANAGEMENT: If managers coach employees as part of their jobs, it accelerates employee development and positively impacts the business. That’s why coaching must be second nature to them.

...Coaching can be focused on improving skills, developing new skills or correcting poor performance — and it’s an essential skill for managers to learn. Coaching requires both skill and time but can enhance employee development and achieve positive long-term results.

Forget About Climbing the Corporate Ladder! Your Career Needs to be Horizontal

Daisy Wright — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 13:12:22 GMT

Valerie Elliott Hyman — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 02:13:02 GMT
