Abstract
Coaching and mentoring are powerful disciplines for developing emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and superior interpersonal skills needed in academic medicine. These skills are increasingly important in an environment where—in addition to technical expertise—innovation, collaboration, teamwork, and effective leadership are needed more than ever before. Coaching and mentoring result in more resilient, agile, and effective individuals and teams, which ultimately improve patient experience. This chapter touches on newer concepts including reverse mentoring and micro-mentoring and then dives deep into the essence of a coaching mindset before ending with practical tips for using coaching in everyday conversations. The goal is to help you begin applying coaching skills immediately and to heighten your awareness to non-traditional mentoring opportunities in academic medicine and health care leadership.
The leader of the past was a person who knew how to tell. The leader of the future will be a person who knows how to ask.
– Peter Drucker
