How do I know whether a leader needs coaching or training or mentoring?

Whether a leader needs coaching, training or mentoring comes down to the nature of the challenge they are facing. Training is most effective when a leader needs new knowledge, tools or skills. Mentoring is valuable when a leader would benefit from the guidance and experience of someone who has faced similar situations before.

Many organizations combine all three approaches. The key is identifying whether the leader’s challenge is primarily about knowledge, experience or behavior.
