Why is this issue so important right now?
Coaching is among the top strategies companies are using today to help prevent the loss of their best talent. Employees are much more likely to stick around if they are being coached and their talents are being developed. From that perspective, the need for coaching has never been more urgent in the business environment.
Sara brings this critical topic to life with her insights and expertise from working with thousands of global leaders, and she pairs that with the latest research on the subject. She cleverly moves beyond the theories of coaching to provide dialogue-filled scenarios that dramatically accelerate the reader’s grasp of the key concepts. When leaders immerse themselves in Sara’s detailed descriptions of coaching conversations, they discover a valuable short-cut on the road to achieving excellence as world-class coaches.
If you want to adopt a robust, modern approach to coaching that will help you transform your leadership potential and elevate the performance of your team, this is exactly the book you need.
