Tips

  • Distinguish clearly between coaching (drawing out answers) and mentoring (sharing experience)—conflating them weakens both.
  • Design mentoring matches around goals and development needs, not just seniority or function.
  • Build psychological safety before introducing coaching conversations—employees must trust the process is developmental, not evaluative.
  • Train managers in one coaching model deeply rather than exposing them to many superficially.
  • Measure mentoring relationship quality through periodic check-ins, not just program completion rates.
  • Champion coaching from the top—when leaders visibly use and model coaching behaviors, adoption accelerates.
