Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent:  How to Develop Responsible People and Build Successful Relationships at Work and at Home

By

Linda Culp Dowling and Cecile Culp Mielenz, Ph. D.

In Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent, Linda Dowling and Cecile Mielenz uniquely combine the substance of effective management practice with parenting insight.  A management coach and a parent educator, Dowling and Mielenz teach managers and parents how to move beyond a focus on control in their relationships with employees and children.  The book begins with a self-assessment to determine the reader’s present approach to control: boss, manipulator, martyr, or mentor.  To develop mentoring skills, Dowling and Mielenz then present four interrelated strategies that encourage responsibility and self-direction in both employees and children: structuring, coaching, conferencing and letting go.  Within each strategy are three fundamental skills and worksheets for practice, accompanied by over 150 real-life stories of the struggles and successes of managers and parents.  Based on the notion that the same single set of mentoring skills increases effectiveness at work and at home, Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent contributes practical techniques and challenging new perspectives to both management and parenting literature.

Making Meetings Work

Meetings morning, noon and night. Nothing is as time consuming as meetings. Entire weeks are lost in meetings and even more time is spent readying memos and carrying out directives from those meetings. Very often soon after, directions are changed almost instantly. If more meetings were held standing up with no chairs available, there would be faster resolution, less attendees and shorter time frames.

How To turn Customer Service Into An Ongoing Profit Center

Even though customer service has been at the top of all organization’s "to do" list, everyone still complains about it. It takes longer to get satisfaction, more contacts to reach the right person, and most often very little satisfaction. With the advent of e-commerce and more technology, it’s gotten even worse. There is less personal contact and more barriers to breakdown down. In this age of instant communication, speedy delivery and just-in-time inventory, we still continue to wait weeks for delivery and longer for complaint resolution.
