"Coaching and Performance Management: Developing and Inspiring
Leaders" is about enhancing human capacity and development. In this
book, coaching is focused on developing a trusting relationship
with others, as well as on clarifying expectations and goals,
thereby leading to specific action plans for their achievement.
Coaching is not an innate skill, but rather it is learned. It
occurs through one's life personally and professionally. Effective
coaching is, and it can be, one of the most important functions
managers perform because it communicates performance levels,
expectations, importance of the tasks and responsibilities, and a
caring attitude. The skills and behaviors of effective coaches are
presented and thoroughly discussed. This book is appropriate for
current and aspiring managers, leaders, scholars, and training and
development professionals. This book defines coaching as the
continuous process of conversational collaborations and
interactions aimed at assisting others to unlock and realize their
full potential one task and one skill at a time, and at a pace
appropriate for the person being coached. The essence of coaching
is unlocking people's potential, through rich, two-way interactions
as well as stimulating questions, so people can maximize their own
performance. Effective coaches accept the challenge of developing
their colleagues and employees knowing that the growth and
development journey is a continuous process, and that learning how
to learn and develop are the real goals for both the coach and the
coachee. The author has used the concepts discussed in this book
both nationally and internationally with academic and practitioner
audiences to help increase theirawareness of performance
management, coaching, influence, and leadership skills. As such,
