206 Retaining Top Employees

❏ The terminology of mentoring and coaching is not stan-
dardized and can be confusing.
❏ It’s important that you know what you mean by “mentor-
ing” and “coaching.”
❏ It’s hard for an employee’s manager to also be his or her
mentor.
❏ It’s quite possible (and usual) for a manager to be an
employee’s coach.
❏ Buddy programs can help you build higher-quality rela-
tionships with your top employees.
