How to Develop Successful Relationships at Work and at Home

(SEATTLE, WA.) Have you had trouble talking to an employee who isn’t doing what you expect or coping with a child who misbehaves? Managers and parents can now use mentoring skills to encourage appropriate behavior and develop meaningful relationships with their employees and children. In their new book, Mentor Manager, Mentor Parent: How to Develop Responsible People and Build Successful Relationships at Work and at Home, co-authors Linda Culp Dowling and Cecile Culp Mielenz describe their unique perspective of mentoring.
