Routledge Beyond Goals - Routledge Coaching and Mentoring Strategies

Traditional goal-setting methods often rely on the standard SMART framework, but in a rapidly changing and complex world, these methods may not always be effective. Beyond Goals: Effective Strategies for Coaching and Mentoring explores what happens in developmental relationships when you look past simple objectives. This book challenges the unquestioned use of goal-striving in coaching and mentoring programs. It provides a necessary advancement of standard goal-setting theory by integrating diverse perspectives from industry leaders. By looking at the relationship through the lenses of psychology, neuroscience, chaos theory, and social network theory, this work offers a more comprehensive way to understand professional development. Whether you are a practitioner or a researcher, this text helps you navigate the limitations of traditional prescriptions. It provides a foundation for understanding how to support growth in environments that require more than just setting and achieving specific targets.
