Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The essence and success of The Tao of Coaching has always been its focus on practical tips and techniques for making work more rewarding through the habit of coaching—this philosophy continues to underpin this brand new edition.

The book's premise is simple: to become an effective coach, managers and leaders need to master only a few techniques, even though mastery obviously requires practice. Each chapter focuses on a specific technique—or Golden Rule—of coaching to help practice make perfect. Tried and tested by generations within and beyond the workplace, this succinct and engaging book gives readers the tools to:

  • create more time for themselves by delegating well
  • build, and enjoy working with, effective teams
  • achieve better results
  • enhance their interpersonal skills

It demonstrates that coaching is not simply a matter of helping others and improving performance, but is also a powerful force for self-development and personal fulfilment.
