(More customer reviews)Short - easy to read and filled with concrete "how-to" information on a collaborative process for facilitating change in someone's performance. The author's 8-step model is based on 20 years research into the "best practices" of successful business performance managers. Very common sense and practical.

The Coach is the first reasearch based book written on the topic of Coaching.
This book is about the coaching process and the skills, behaviors, courage, and values leaders need in order to evoke employee committment and motivation. This is a "how-to" book with a lot of specifics on what to say and how to handle different coaching situations. The authors provide a unique close-up account of a true-to-like manager who discovers the obstacles and challenges of helping an employee ove a difficult time. This leader ultimately discovers the keys to coaching success and averts a careet-threatening disaster.
Many books on leadership focus on general theories, while others treat the topic of coaching in a shallow and oversimplified view. From thirty years of research and observations, Steven J. Stowell, Ph.D. has collected data that provides a rich and deep understanding of this topic.
