About this title

Synopsis

Written by an expert coach, this book provides practical skills for coaching and invaluable insights into more effective communication. This clear, concise guide shows how to follow the GROW sequence--Goals, Reality, Options, Will--to generate prompt action and peak performance.

From the Publisher

Packed with powerful hands-on tools, this new edition brings up-to-date John Whitmore's popular GROW model and adds three new chapters on making work and goal-setting meaningful, a spiritual approach to coaching, and coaching the organization's culture. Whitmore explores the dynamics of team development, positioning coaching as the essential team leadership skill, and provides extensive examples of effective questions that can help ensure full participation in the performance improvement process. Whether used as a self-study guide, by corporate trainers, by managers with direct reports, or by the growing legions of professional coaches and management consultants, this classic coaching guide—written in Whitmore's classic coaching style—clearly demonstrates the power of coaching as both a tool and the essence of corporate culture change.
