The Field Guide to Leadership Coaching: Ask Questions. Engage Followers. Develop Potential.

By Jody Parsons

This book is meant to be a real time, practical guide to leadership
coaching. If you are brand new leader or an experienced
leader, this book presents an opportunity to lead yourself and
followers through coaching questions related to 13 leadership
principles. Much has been written about what leaders should
do and why they should do it. Less has been written to give
leaders real time, practical resources for real leadership scenarios.
Many times, employees promote to management positions
because they are incredible task masters. Often, there is little
to no leadership training. As a result, new managers rely on
practices that are familiar - task completion, and they leave off
what is not familiar - developing themselves as leaders and
developing their followers. It can take months or years for
leaders to learn through their mistakes. We can do better.
I'm not suggesting that following the coaching principles in
this book will keep you from making any mistakes. What I am
suggesting is that when you follow the coaching principles in
this book, you will make fewer mistakes with followers and
shorten your leadership learning curve. This is true not only
for new leaders but also for seasoned leaders who need a
fresh approach. Employees today expect to be engaged, involved,
and valued. Following the coaching principles in this
book puts employees at the center of your leadership practice.
