Coaching and mentoring are fast becoming an essential aspect of modern managerial practice. With this growth comes an increasing number of students embarking on mentoring courses. The authors have provided the first authoritative text with a comprehensive overview and critical grounding in the key concepts, models and research studies in coaching and mentoring. This is an essential tool by which to gain a critical and contemporary understanding of this field.

Well respected and trusted scholars in the field, the authors answer important questions such as 'What does coaching and mentoring involve?' 'What is its value?', 'How can the added value of mentoring be demonstrated and measured?'.

Examples are drawn from a variety of sectors, including private businesses, public and voluntary organizations and schools. Contemporary debates are explained by contributing experts and chapters include features such as case studies, research questions and helpful tips to support the reader.

Review:

'My own conclusion is that this book provides useful information and highlights significant aspects for consideration. I had anticipated, from the title and the cover, which looks rather like an old-fashioned, home-made book of recipes (fake handwriting font and fake coffee cup stains on it) more of a practical, how-to-do-it book. It is certainly not that. It will, however, appeal to those with an academic interest in coaching or mentoring and to anyone considering a research study (about anything, as the ideas can be applied to much more than coaching and mentoring)' - Julie Hay
