Reseña del editor

With its client-centred focus and its solid research into how people in business actually prefer to be coached, "Adaptive Coaching" offers an experience-based approach to the art of good coaching. Drawing on their extensive work in organizations such as McKinsey & Company and the Ford Motor Co helping executives and managers learn critical coaching skills, this author team illustrates adaptive coaching in action through dozens of sample dialogues, identifies eight distinct coaching styles - teacher, parent, manager, philosopher, facilitator, counsellor, colleague and mentor - and demonstrates how coaches can deliver the results individuals and organizations demand by learning how to adapt their coaching approach and methods to the needs, wants and preferences of the people they are coaching.
