Discussions
To participate in the following discussions, go to this week's Discussion link in the left navigation.
Training
Discuss an instance when you identified a weakness in the skill set in an employee (or in yourself ). If you had limited financial resources, where would you look for training to close the gap on these skill sets? How would the success of the training be measured? Respond to at least two of your classmates' posts with constructive ideas, comments, or suggestions.
Mentoring
In the "Nurturing Leadership" video, Dr. Warren Bennis states "Terrific organizations led by outstanding leaders have leadership at every single level of the organization. They put a value on mentoring and coaching." Compare and contrast the concepts of coach and mentor. Is one better suited for a particular situation than the other? What is your experience with coaching and mentoring?
