Third module's opening session on the influential relationship between a leader and the followers who expect changes and outcomes that reflect their shared interests. Defines mentoring as a relationship in which the more experienced and expert party offers advice and guidance while the other goes through a learning process, sets coaching beside it, and explains that both exist in leadership and management to deliberately help and support the people being led. Closes on the reflection exercise about a person who mentored you in life and the qualities that make you admire them, and the group task of identifying four areas a leader and manager should focus on when mentoring fellow workers and coaching section heads.
