Hi Teri,
To me leaders who don't mentor/coach are falling short of their full responsibilities.  That's not to say that you keep a team member who truly is not producing.  So many high driver leaders misinterpret "coaching" to mean "keeping around an incompetent" employee.  Not true.

Coaching is that daily communication to tap people's talents and hone it with your experience.  It is one way that the team can learn from each other (including you) and change to meet every changing business needs.

Here's a post on teamwork w/leadership -- I welcome your comments.
