Unlocking Potential

On-going coaching and development that can be a “game changer” for all employees! All great coaches know how to ask good open-ended questions and how to give effective feedback. They keep a balanced and honest perspective that separates the person from the problem or issue; coaching to leverage their unique strengths and helping them improve weaknesses with a mindset focused on continuous improvement. This ongoing coaching and development can be a “game changer” for all people and teams with access to it. But what about the teams and players that aren’t empowered—or even allowed—to expand their roles? Or the team members whose careers don’t inspire or play to their natural gifts, talents, and strengths? It’s painful for any organization or manager when people on their team aren’t given the tools to succeed; and more painful still when the team member doesn’t yet realize it. But by coaching through leadership, any manager of any organization can create a supportive structure that helps assign the right roles, resources, tools, and career opportunities that will best leverage their strengths.

Kommandos waren gestern: Nur Führungskräfte, die mitreißen, inspirieren und ihre Angestellte mental unterstützen, bekommen auch die engagierten und motivierten Mitarbeiter, die sie brauchen. Ohne Empathie und Motivation kommt heute kein Vorgesetzter mehr aus: Gefragt sind daher nicht mehr autoritäre Chefs, sondern Führungskräfte mit Coachingfähigkeiten! Für alle Führungskräfte stellt dieses Buch den wegweisenden Coaching-Ansatz von FranklinCovey vor. Ausgehend von den vier Grundpfeilern Vertrauen, Potenzial, Einsatz und Ausführung werden die sieben entscheidenden Fähigkeiten vorgestellt, von Vertrauen bilden über den konstruktiven Umgang mit Fehlern bis hin zu effektivem Feedback. Damit wird das Buch zum grundlegenden Ratgeber für alle Coaches und Führungskräfte. Mit einer deutlichen Botschaft: Hört auf, nur zu managen! Fangt an zu inspirieren, wachzurütteln, zu motivieren – seid Coaches!
