The Social Intelligence competency we call Coach and Mentor is the ability to foster the long-term learning or development of others by giving feedback and support. The Coach and Mentor competency is an essential social competency for leaders at any level in an organization. When a culture is built on mentoring personal growth and engagement are spurred. But how does one develop this competency? What does it look like in different contexts? In Coach and Mentor: A Primer, Daniel Goleman and colleagues introduce Emotional Intelligence and dive deep into the Coach and Mentor competency. In this quick read, the authors illustrate the valuable skills needed to help others develop further strengths.

Daniel Goleman, Richard Boyatzis, George Kohlrieser, Michele Nevarez, and Matthew Taylor elaborate on the Coach and Mentor competency: what it means, why it matters, and how to develop your capacity for it in both personal and professional settings. Here's some of what's included: • Overview of Emotional Intelligence • Overview of the Competency Model in Leadership • Introduction to Coach and Mentor • Coach and Mentor in Action • Coach and Mentor: The Core of Leadership • What Makes a Great Coach • Coaching & Mentoring for Lasting Behavioral Change Whether you are an individual looking to elevate your personal performance, a coach or consultant in need of research-based resources, or a head of leadership development in your organization seeking a brief yet informative resource to share with your team, this Primer is for you.
Authors
Author of Emotional Intelligence and psychologist Daniel Goleman has transformed the way the world educates children, relates to family and friends, and conducts business. The Wall Street Journal ranked him one of the 10 most influential business thinkers. Goleman’s Emotional Intelligence was on The New York Times best sellers list for a year-and-a-half. Named one of the 25 "Most Influential Business Management Books" by TIME, it has been translated into 40 languages. The Harvard Business Review called emotional intelligence (EI) “a revolutionary, paradigm-shattering idea.” Goleman’s new book, Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence, argues that attention—a fundamental mental ability for success—has come under siege. Leadership that gets results demands a triple focus: on our inner world so we can manage ourselves; on others, for our relationships; and on the outer forces that shape our organizations and society itself. His more recent books include The Brain and Emotional Intelligence, and Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence - Selected Writings.
