Leaders: Support Your Employees to Work Smarter Their Own Way

NEW BOOK: Coaching Skills for Leaders in the Workplace: How to Unlock Potential and Maximise Performance

Leadership skills- from building trust to boosting confidence, and from cross-cultural understanding to respecting diversity - are more relevant in today's fast-changing world than ever.

As a leader, senior manager or executive, you're often called on to act as coach or mentor to your staff. This book introduces innovative and creative coaching and supervision models and techniques that can be adapted for any environment. It also enables you to set up the coaching programmes that will make a significant difference to your organisation.

You will discover actual examples of how to:

  • Present a business case for coaching using robust coaching programmes to enhance behaviours and retain key staff.
  • Reduce recruitment costs, promote well-being and increase return on investment.
  • Become an effective leader and coach - by learning from those who have introduced effective coaching and supervision in their own organisations.
  • Implement vital tools, models and exercises to use in your own coaching sessions.

The book is packed with detailed examples, case studies, illustrative tables and diagrams, Q&A sets and sample forms.

This book supports the requirements for the ILM and CMI Coaching and Mentoring in Management Qualifications at levels 5 to 7. This new edition has been extensively revised and covers recent trends, such as team coaching and mindfulness.
