5 out of 5 stars
The 25th anniversary edition of the late John Whitmore’s Coaching for Performance confirms its position as the indispensable bible for coaches.
Globally we’re witnessing the coaching profession unfold, expand, become more standardised and professional. This book is an excellent accompaniment to this evolution, offering fresh knowledge and resources from Performance Consultants’ worldwide coaching experience.
It shows organisational leaders the benefits of adopting and leading a coaching culture and provides coaches with a range of tools to demonstrate bottom-line benefits of improved performance. New content includes the performance curve and coaching for performance ROI.
Whitmore’s book was first built on the GROW model, now it is time for a facelift: the Feedback element is the new feature of this proven model. The book covers today’s main coaching trends such as team coaching. Workplace coaching dialogues are built in and the Question Bags section supports learning.
Even if you have Coaching for Performance, it’s worth getting this new edition devoted to modern coaching.
