This is the first book to put coaching and mentoring into an Asia-Pacific context - exploring the challenges, benefits and differences in application, both in concept and practice. The authors show how organizations in the Asia-Pacific Region can make effective use of this powerful developmental tool, in cost-effective, culturally relevant ways. "Anyone involved coaching and mentoring in the Asia Pacific region will welcome this book. It includes chapters from experts in the field and provides a fine overview of the challenges faced and how to tackle them. The book is a very useful contribution to our understanding of coaching and mentoring in this developing context."
