Synopsis

The most effective leader behaves more like a coach
Authors Bill Eckstrom and Sarah Wirth have spent a decade researching the activities, behaviors, and performance of leaders. After studying more than 100,000 coaching interactions in the workplace, primarily of sales teams, they have been able to determine how coaching affects team outcomes and growth.

The authors share three critical performance drivers, along with the four high-growth activities that coaches must execute to build a team that is motivated to achieve at the highest levels. Through both hard data and rich stories, Eckstrom and Wirth demonstrate how leaders can measure and improve their coaching to lead their teams to better results.

The Coaching Effect will help leaders at all levels understand the necessity of challenging people out of their comfort zone to create a high-growth organization. Leaders will learn how they can develop trust relationships, drive accountability and leverage growth experiences to propel their team members to the highest levels of success.

Goodreads review by Phil on July 10, 2022

The focus of this book is on the coaching aspect of management, so it's particularly useful for new managers. I found it really resonated with me.

Goodreads review by WH on April 08, 2020

Based on the ratings and reviews, I was expecting more. Overall, not bad, but repetitive and longer than it needed to be (quite a bit of unnecessary material). On the plus side, the suggestions were specific and clear, and I plan to implement many of them.......more
