Coaching for Performance

Now in a new, expanded and fully revised third edition, this bestselling handbook will help you learn the skills - and the art - of good coaching, and realise its enormous value in unlocking people's potential to maximise their own performance.

Adopted by many of the world's major corporations, this easy to use title argues persuasively for:

• Using effective questions rather than instructions or commands to raise awareness and responsibility
• Following the GROW sequence - Goals, Reality, Options, Will - to generate prompt action and peak performance
• The growing need to relate to the individual's sense of meaning and purpose

and examines why:

• Coaches now need enhanced skill levels
• Coaching is the essential team leadership skill
