The primary aim or purpose of this book is providing a methodology for creating a CoachSystem (CS) in an organization. This book is also not necessarily a skills and practices book. There are many great coaching skills and practices books available for developing coaching ksa's but hardly anything on what coaching can do for and to organizations! This book also provides a method to take coaching to the line-the bottom line in organizations-all the way to the customer interface. It provides a simple, yet effective model of coaching that anyone can learn in a few minutes and then proceed down a path of mastery over time to creating organizational effectiveness. Clearly this book lays out for you a coaching methodology you can teach to your line managers, or use with your customer service department-even your kids! It helps you build a CoachSystem, integrating coaching into your organization at every level. The book is about creating outcomes for the individual and the organization that lead to well-being, purpose, competence and awareness. It is based on proven methods of improving performance, creating generative rather than destructive change and facilitating individual and organizational transformation.
I enjoyed reading your book immensely. It was an ongoing revelation of our relationship over the past 12 years. The "light-bulb" was constantly being illuminated as the coaching principles you so clearly and succintly penned to paper shined before my consciousness. You truly have been practicing what you preach!The depth of your research and how you incorporated into your thoughts and practice was appreciated throughout the book. It is well written and easy to follow and understand. I am recommending it to all my colleagues. We are not coaches but just understanding the dynamics you put forth are sound for any relationships we encounter in the future of our practice.
