Many effective managers at all levels recognize the need to develop the employees they supervise. By helping staff members expand their capabilities and improve their performance, managers can gain more time to improve their own capabilities and performance. Further, by building a reputation for developing employees, managers can enhance their chances for promotion. Even more important, they can create a lasting source of power through mutually beneficial relationships with the employees they have helped. Managers who are most effective at developing employees have incorporated the skill of coaching into their management style. These managers display behavior and skills that are very similar to the behavior and skills of an athletics coach. Although coaching is an important aspect of every effective manager’s job, it is especially important when a man- ager is a mentor. Employees who have been fortunate enou8h to have had a mentor, particularly  early  in  their careers,  usually find their careers enhanced by the experience and frequently incorporate coaching into their own management styles
