| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses mentoring in the golf course industry, suggesting that employers "keep...valuable intellectual assests...through a mentoring program that transfers skills from senior employees to junior ones." Explains that "mentoring usually targets more subtle skills requisite to the enhancement of career potential. Examples are: dealing with customers in productive and sensitive ways that encourage loyalty; cultivating a creative mind-set that produces profitable ideas for the course; and applying oneself in ways that go beyond the job description into the area of power performance." Lists possible techniques for a mentoring program: "start small"; "lead the way"; and "pick great mentors." Concludes that "it all sounds like a win-win situation, not only for the individuals involved but also for their employer." |
