Coaching and mentoring : theory and practice

Mentoring is fast becoming an accepted part of organisational life and an increasing number of students are embarking on mentoring courses. This book provides readers with a comprehensive and critical grounding in the key concepts, models and research studies in mentoring. Drawing on extensive research and the authors' own experiences as coaches and mentors, the book offers a critical perspective on the theory and practice of coaching and mentoring. The Third Edition is split into four parts and has been updated to include the contemporary debates, issues and influences in the field. It features a collection of new international case-studies, drawn from the USA, Africa, Asia and South America, along with an increased emphasis on current topics such as internal coaching schemes, e-technologies and social media.
