Coach to ALIGN: Building Empowered Teams Together

By Shaine Hobdy

Stop directing. Start coaching.

Most teams don't fail because of bad people - they fail because they're being managed when they need to be coached. Coach to ALIGN is the practical, two-way framework that turns managers into coaches and teams into something that actually moves forward together.

Built on the proprietary ALIGN Coaching Model, this book walks you through five steps that work in real, messy team conversations:

Analyze Behaviors - see what's really driving performance, not just the symptoms.
Leverage Relationships - coaching is built on trust, not authority.
Inquire - ask questions that open the conversation instead of closing it.
Gain Next Steps - co-create a path forward your team will actually own.
New Commitment - leave with clear action, not just a nicer feeling.

Inside, you'll get the OTSA Form, the ALIGN Roadmap, and dozens of real-world examples drawn from four decades inside Walt Disney World, The Ritz-Carlton, United Airlines, and JetBlue.

This is a leadership book for managers, team leads, HR professionals, and anyone who's tired of giving feedback that doesn't stick.
