Assessment Task 2: Case study and Report Writing
- Mentoring and coaching
- Describe what mentoring is and who could be used as a mentor.
Mentoring is a process that provides guidance, support and motivation to an individual to manage self-learning and develop solution for growth or career issues and development. With the help of proper mentoring, the individual can improve skills and performance for personal and professional development(de Janasz et al., 2013).Mentor helps the individual to think about how to progress in the career and realise individual potential. Thus, mentoring serve as an empowerment tool. The role of mentor can be taken up by any individual who has expertise or experience and has seen changes in management styles (Ghosh and Reio, 2013) and has ability to act as a leader and can train and coach to other individual who have less information or experiences or seek advice for career path.
- In what situation would you use or appoint a mentor?
The mentor can be appointed in situation where organisation work is suffering due to poor performance of employees, poor worker and manager relationship, when an individual feel uninspired and unsatisfied from job (Ghosh and Reio, 2013), cope with stress at job, communication gap,unexpected changes in job role, performance reviews to identify the improvements area and for development of valuable skill for higher roles. When an organisation seeks to develop leaders and assist the employee in overcoming problems that hinder employee growth development and current progress, help to create a work-life balance and to retain its existing talent(de Janasz et al., 2013).
- Describe what coaching is.
Coaching is a process that focuses on continuous development to achieve distinct personal or professional objectives. It creates performance driven culture that enable an organisation to cope with internal changes and external competitive pressures (Jones et al., 2016). Thus, coaching helps the organisation to manage and cope with industry specific challenges.
- In what situation could a person benefit most from coaching?
A person can benefit from coaching in situation where individual need to acquire new skills and knowledge, develop new perspective and enhance interpersonal and managerial skills (Jones et al., 2016). In situation where an individual behaviour, skill and knowledge demands change the coaching is required to help individual adapt to new roles (Emil Berg and Terje Karlsen, 2012). Also, when an organisation seeks to develop specific competencies in employee for performance management tools, and is incorporating new system and during restructuring of management hierarchy situation can gain from coaching.
- Describe the differences between the role of a mentor and a coach.
The role of coach is focus on tasks and activities and based on performance (Jones et al., 2016) whereas mentoring is relationship oriented and based on individual development (de Janasz et al., 2013). The coach is involved with individual for a shorter duration whereas the mentor role is of long duration and can even extend from few months to one to years.
- Learning styles
- Graham predominant learning style indicates auditory learning as he likes to make use of sound in learning that can be in form of talking to other over telephone and face to face meetings (Rohrer and Pashler, 2012). It is also evident as Graham is not very good at reading tasks he is does not prefer reading reports and minutes of meeting.On the other hand, Maria principal learning style highlights visual type as she makes use of visual aids such as charts and maps(Rohrer and Pashler, 2012). Also, Maria fails to notice any instruction that is given in verbally form.Gino major learning style is kinaesthetic as it involves physical experience such as movements of hands. This indicates Gino has learning by doing method where hemakes use of body, hands and senses (Gilakjani, 2011). Moreover, Gino take plentiful notes when learning something new which indicate the movement of hands to better concentrate on the details.
- b. Strategies to assist different learning styles
Learning Styles | Strategies fortraining/professional development sessions | ||
Visual | Include outlines and concept maps for the purpose of reading and taking notes. | Make use of visual aids such as objects, pictures, models, charts, diagrams, etc. | Include lots of reading content in handouts(Rohrer and Pashler, 2012) |
Auditory | Classroom lectures | Brainstorming sessions | Questioning the trainees |
Kinaesthetic | Role playing activities | Leave space in handout to allow the learner to make notes (Gilakjani, 2011). | Provide markers and coloured pens to learners to make them focus of key points(Rohrer and Pashler, 2012) |
- Develop teams and individuals
a.The relevant competencies that can be valuable if included in the professional development needs of each individual team member can be increase commitment to career, career motivation, and leadership inthe case of Graham, knowledge acquisitionand work-life balance for Maria and time management skills for Gino. The reasons for these competencies are apparent as Graham reported that he feels frustrated from his exiting job profile which might lead to job dissatisfaction whereas Maria has poor awareness in area of finance which is required as per the work profile and also has poor health status due to workload. Gino has backlogs of workand falls behind work due to poor management of time.
- The strengths of the team that can be utilised to develop a strategy for development of team members can be management of multiple tasks, team managing skills of Graham, good business and administration skills from Maria and good interpersonal skills and teamwork from Gino. The team weakness can be time management skills, communication skills, organising skills, responsibilities of assigned roles and lack of motivation for career growth.
- Program Selection
- a) The best suited program is Option 3 that is a short online session which includes self-paced learning activities because Gino learning style is kinaesthetic and this session allow him to learn by doing things while other two options do not give physical experience to learn.
- b) Strategy benefits the team and individuals within this can be well adapted to suit the specific workplace situation and it supports development of time management skills and time management plans which is essential for team members such as Maria and Gino while Graham can be benefitted by productivity lesson plan in this program which also provide mentor training. The chosen program offers development opportunities for each member and can assist in development of the competencies required in the assigned job role.
- c) Organisational requirements
The organisational requirements can be identified in consultation with the employee and work teams. Some key organisational requirements identified are business and performance plans, process, system, and requirements for timely management of activities by team members. Gino also requires time management plan as the there is backlog of work and he falls behind majority of the work assigned. Moreover, Gino has a tendency of getting bored easily thus, this can be addressed with the chosen program which is of short duration which help Gino to concentrate without getting sidetrack which is possible in long sessions and this programemphasise on time management overview and time management plans which is an ongoing requirement.

Was the training material available for reference by other team members?

- Presenter appraisals.
Did the program/course presenter achieve the mentioned objectives?
Were the concepts explained clearly?
How well the presenter encouraged participate during the course?
How well individual questions discussed?

3.Review of progress
- The main criteria to assess a professional development program can be appropriateness of the program for the learner, new skills, knowledge or competencies developed from the program, application of new skills/knowledge in work and success of the program in meeting the organisational requirements and individual needs from the program.
- Gino has failed to prioritise the task i.e. the meeting with client over assisting felloe colleagues. This can be addressed by setting priorities and by minimising interruptions from a co-worker that hamper productivity.
- Gino needsa productivity session that can help to deal with issue of interruption from a co-worker and can learn and discuss about the workplace factors that hampers productivity and can apply the techniques to regularly attend productive meeting by prioritising work and managing workplace interruptions.
