Creating Value In Relationships

I`ve been using the coaching process described in this book to improve performance with the work groups I manage. It is highly effective for dealing with the daily problems and issues that occur and more importantly dealing with and confronting more complex disciplinary or performance issues. It has given me the skills and confidence to make a difference with my people. The book has been highly effective in helping me see how I can help improve individuals that are already doing good job. By using and referring to this book, I have become a better manager and can see the difference in the way my subordinates respond to the feedback and coaching I give them.

In-depth Information for Coaching Skills

I found Win-Win Partnerships to be a very comprehensive book on the topic of coaching skills and building relationships in the workplace. I felt the authors took these concepts one step further than in other books and text-books I've read on workplace relationship skills. I truly enjoyed the focus on turning to our teammembers and associates to help each other and create synergy through learning relationships. I look forward to reading and reviewing a new release from the same authors that further expounds on their ideas about teamwork, The Team Approach: With Teamwork Anything Is Possible.

Working with others

It is always a challenge when establishing a good, and I stress "good" working relationships with others. This book helps anyone build a relationship that is beneficial for both parties through coaching. The coaching model they presnt is practical, easy to understand and especialy easy to apply, not only in the workplace but in personal relationships as well. I have read all the books published by thse authors and am especially impressed with the manner they present their material. I highly recommend all their books, especially The Team Approach: With Teamwork Anything Is Possible

"How to . . . "

I love books that help me understand "how to . . ." and the practical explanations and examples provided in this book do exactly that. It gives details and examples that make the concepts very easy to appreciate. The 8-step coaching model is a great, very practical, roadmap for effective coaching.This is a great follow up to their first book, "Coach: Creating Partnerships for a Competitive Edge".

Great book for management and execs

Great book! It reads easy and keeps you captivated with the side notes, pics, drawings and quotes that add to the content of the book. This kept me interacted with the book. I would recommend it for people who are looking to greatly improve their management and communication skills. It was good enough that I requested my entire staff team to read through it. I don't think you can go wrong.Tim
