A very short, fairly interesting and reasonably cheap book about coaching and mentoring

Written to challenge, stimulate and inform, this book takes a critical look at the rapidly-growing field of coaching and mentoring. Focusing on all types of organization - public, private, large, small and not-for-profit - Robert Garvey inspires and provokes readers by asking questions such as Are coaching and mentoring the same? Are we obsessed with skills? and What is performance? He also delves into contemporary debates such as concerns about standards, competencies and codes of ethics, interspersed with views on power, control and politics.
