The Business Coach: A Game Plan for the New Work Environment
Publisher:
John Wiley & Sons
Author:
James S. Doyle
|
Imagine a workplace that fosters collaboration,
trust, and empowering relationships with others. Where
supervisors
listen, nurture, develop talent, and facilitate learning
in an environment of mutual respect, trust, and accountability.
And where, as a result, employees become self aware,
self correcting, and truly motivated, thus helping their
company ward off competition and stay on top of its game.
Sound too good to be true? It's not—it's a description
of a company that practices "coaching". Businesses
today are becoming less invested in the old top-down
management approach and instead are employing this proven
leadership style, building world-class team spirit, cohesion,
and optimum performance, and enjoying new levels of success.
