The Coaching Manager: Developing Top Talent in Business introduces an easy-to-implement developmental coaching model based on the authors′ extensive work with thousands of managers, executives, and MBA students. The goal is for managers to help employees learn and be more productive on a day-to-day basis. This model encourages employees to take greater responsibility for their learning and development while forging a helping relationship between manager and employee. Such an approach to management will lighten the emphasis on evaluation and create learning opportunities for all involved.

The book includes twenty real-world cases, self-assessment tools, and action checklists to deepen skills and understanding. The Coaching Manager will benefit managers, leaders, and entrepreneurs in business and not-for-profit organizations; those in MBA programs; students in leadership, organizational development, and human resource management; as well as participants in executive training programs.
