Without a skilled captain to steer it safely to harbor, a ship is as good as lost at sea. The same can be said of the business world—without the right people at its helm, a firm is left to flounder on an uncharted course, one that may very well send it drifting into the dismal abyss of financial ruin. Arguably then, it stands to reason that employees are the most important resource within a company. After all, they are the vital crew members who will allow you, the captain, to navigate the corporate boat to safe harbor (i.e., profitability).
This interactive online course covers the importance of mentoring employees along with methods that can be used to motivate. Several case studies are introduced to give specific examples of how this information can be put to use with employees and leaders of an organization. This course is intended to review and reinforce motivational and mentoring concepts that you may have used or evaluated in your profession. If you are starting a career as a manager, hopefully some of these concepts will provoke thought about how to motivate or mentor peers or employees in your company.
