Belfius manager Hassan explains why business mentoring was the best solution to help one of his team leaders in the most efficient way.
How did he establish the changes:
🎯 in the 1-on-1s with him, the team leader asked questions she would never have asked otherwise
🎯 an unprecedented pro-activeness of the team leader in the management of the team and in the interactions with Hassan and with her co-workers
"So, not only useful for the employee but also for the organization," says Hassan. And mentoring was also the most efficient solution, because of its quick and deep impact.
