Coaching at Work: Powering your Team with Awareness, Responsibility and Trust
John Wiley and Sons Ltd, Oct 2006, Pages: 352
In our changing times, an ability to coach and get results through people is the single biggest determinant of management success. So if you’re a manager, HR professional, team leader or anyone else with responsibility for motivating and inspiring others, then it’s time you woke up to the fact that you’re also a coach. Coaching skills will be a key source of career advantage for years to come, and the sooner you learn and benefit from them the more effective you will become.
Matt Somers has more than two decades of workplace experience and has taught coaching skills in multinationals and micro-businesses alike. For him, coaching is all about asking the right questions and listening carefully to the answers. Now, in Coaching at Work, he sets out a proven process of raising awareness, generating responsibility and building trust to enable you become a more effective coach. You’ll find a wealth of immediately actionable ideas, all of which have been developed in a work context to help you produce rapid, sustainable results.
Anyone who must achieve results through other people is a coach.
Your people know it. Do you?
About the author
Matt Somers is a coaching practitioner of many years’ experience. In 1999 he founded Peak, and has since worked with a host of clients throughout the UK and Europe, developing team coaching interventions for organisations as diverse as Toyota Europe, British Bakeries and the City of Edinburgh Council.
Matt understands that the majority of individuals are working with their true potential locked away. He believes that coaching provides a simple yet elegant key to this lock, and that releasing potential in this way could transform the performance of all organizations. Peak’s experience has shown that, because it is both performance-focused and performer-centred, coaching represents the single most effective way of developing high performing teams.
Matt is a regular speaker, a Fellow of the CIPD and the author of many important articles on coaching. He is the author of Coaching in a Week (2002).
