Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent uniquely combines successful management methods with down-to-earth parenting practices in an insightful look at mentoring one's own employees and children. Authors Linda Culp Dowling and Cecile Culp Mielenz, a management coach and a child development consultant, share proven techniques that have helped thousands of managers and parents build successful relationships at work and at home. Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent presents a complete mentoring model of four strategies that develop responsibility and self-direction in both employees and children: structuring, coaching, conferencing, and letting go. Within each strategy, the authors describe three fundamental skills, provide worksheets for practice, and tell over 150 real-life stories about the struggles and successes of managers and parents. This is the one book that will go from the briefcase to the nightstand and back again.
