What to expect
- How to improve your overall team performance by helping individuals be the best they can be.
- How to get the best out of the people who you interact with, whether you lead them directly or not.
- How to be a coach without broadcasting; "Get ready, I'm going to start coaching you now," or obviously putting on your coaching hat, either.
This book is for you if...
- You are looking for ways to develop your direct and indirect reports in a more informal setting, i.e., without the need to refer to their formal personal development plan.
- You'd like your direct / indirect reports to come to you with their solutions rather than problems that they want you to solve for them.
- You want to get the best out of your team, but everyone is different and you need to adjust the way you interact with them on an individual basis.
- You're in a leadership role and want some ideas on how to go about creating a Highly-Engaged and High-Performing Organization.
- You've read some books, attended courses, watched a series of videos on-line, downloaded a multitude of Apps - but you need some practical suggestions on how to implement those coaching/development ideas.
- And... you want to be a better leader, wherever you are in the organization.
This book is also for you if....
- You know you should do some succession planning and people development but you're not sure how.
- Your team is under-performing, and you want some ideas to change that.
What to expect
- A quick read - not too much theory, with focus on practical ideas, insights, frameworks and templates to help you create an engaged, high performing organization.
- The GROW model of coaching - and how to adjust your style for different individuals
- The 7R Model for developing a high-performing organization
- And a lot more than that, too. Please see the contents page.
