COACHING FOR PERFORMANCE: GROWing People, Performance and Purpose (John Whitmore)

Back

This bestselling handbook will help you learn the skills - and the art - of good coaching, and realise its enormous value in unlocking people's potential to maximise their own performance.

As John Whitmore writes, "Coaching is not merely a technique to be wheeled out and rigidly applied in certain prescribed circumstances. It is a way of manaing, a way of treating people, a way of thinking, a way of being." This 3rd edition of the definitive guide moves on to new psychological ground with three new chapters on coaching for personal meaning, purpose at work and on corporate values and culture - to GROW People, Performance and Purpose together.

Adopted by many of the world's major corporations, this easy to use title argues persuasively for:

• Using effective questions rather than instructions or commands to raise awareness and responsibility, with extensive examples.
• Following the GROW sequence - Goals, Reality, Options, Will - to generate prompt action and peak performance.
• The growing need to relate to the individual's sense of meaning an dpurpose

and examines why:

• Coaches now need enhanced skill levels
• Coaching is the essential team leadership skill
