What
is Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent about?
Mentor Manager,
Mentor Parent is about how managers and parents can use the same
skills to develop responsible employees and children while building
successful relationships at work and at home.
Who should
read this book?
Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent is valuable for anyone who
is a manager at work and who has children at home. No other book
provides a model of such clear, step-by-step instructions about
how to use the same skills to develop employees and children.
What
was the reason for writing this book? Did you see a need for this
book?
Absolutely!
Typically managers and parents want to do a good job at work and
at home. When they think these two roles are different, they think
they must learn two sets of skills in order to be effective. What
is unique about Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent is that we
combine successful management methods with down-to-earth parenting
practices. This is the one book that you can take from your briefcase
to your nightstand and back again!
In what
ways are managing and parenting alike?
Ultimately
the role of effective managers and effective parents is to develop
responsibility and self-reliance in others regardless of how old
they are. However, when faced with problem behavior, managers and
parents often struggle to control their employees and children.
The most effective managers and parents move beyond their concern
about control and focus instead on encouraging responsibility and
building relationships.
