Memo Analysis

The team leader’s ability to manage and improve team performance will be limited by his or her own authority and ability to influence others. There may be restrictions in terms of organisational policy; there may be financial, resource, or time constraints, or team members themselves may be reluctant to participate and to accept change.

Coaching and mentoring are not about learning to do something the right way, but are about helping to lead an individual to find their own way of doing it practically and efficiently. Coaching and mentoring sessions are guided with theoretical models, which help focus both the coach and the coachee in attaining desired outcomes for problem situations.

An advantage of mentoring is that it helps to acclimatise less successful workers to the job and organisational requirements. By having a "go to" person to ask questions, discuss scenarios and generally learn the nuances of the company, the mentee can become a productive member much more quickly and never feel that he has nowhere to turn for help. The mentee can gain the sense of achievement that comes from the mentor's feedback and assessment of his progress. The mentee's quest to gain the mentor's approval can serve as a motivating force to continue to improve his performance. The mentor can gain satisfaction from knowing that she is helping an individual and can take a measure of pride in her accomplishments. For a mentor that has already achieved a great deal of success, she can look at the process as a way of "giving back”.

A good supervisor seeks out the strengths in their employees and looks to manage weaknesses by identifying if they are in part of lack of training or poor interrelational communication between the manager and employee. Good supervisors seek out their employees’ success by focusing their attention on tasks they will exceed in and not basing their evaluation on tasks in which they struggle with weakness (Buckingham & Coffman, 1999). This notion presents an innovative idea in the way managers approach the work of their employees. It seems to be an effective way of evaluating an employee’s work based on a multitude of factors that can be contributing to it. It removes the blame from solely the employee which offers the opportunity to both the manager

Client reported that she had a very rough weekend because her best friends were at the gunshot incident in Las Vegas this past weekend. She reported that she has been staying with her friends, and taking care of them since they came back. Client reported that she feels like she is her best friends' mom, and that she wants to protect them. Client reported that she feels really sad and painful for her best friends because she understands how much this traumatic incident would impact them.

Unlike previously where mentors where seen as formal trainers who taught newcomers the processes and got them acquainted with the cultures and the systems within the organisation. Which required good interpersonal skills and a good knowledge of the activity or tasks the mentee would have to undertake, and be able to effectively relay or demonstrate the tasks or activities to the mentee. As opposed to more recently where a mentor would have to be more of an emotional counselor and demonstrate more skills than were traditionally required from
