Every company on the planet is trying to squeeze more performance out of fewer resources. But is this really possible without inflicting lasting damage to the workforce? Has humanity been squeezed out of the workplace in the mistaken belief that to do so will increase profit margins? How can companies help themselves and their employees fulfill their potential? The answer is found in Effective Coaching in which Myles Downey presents a comprehensive introduction to coaching in the workplace, and reveals to both managers and professional coaches how to get the best out of their team through the implementation of practices that have made him one of Europe’s foremost business coaches. Downey is both passionate and pragmatic in his approach. He believes that people work better, more productively and more effectively when cared for and fulfilled in the workplace. His inspirational and practical approach to coaching shows that when conducted as a regular working practice, coaching can tap into the resources of the whole individual, for the benefit of the organization and the employee alike. His belief in less management and more coaching have led him to develop techniques and skills which have been successfully applied across a wide variety of industries.As a founder of The School of Coaching in London and its Director of Studies, Myles Downey teaches and trains managers and professional coaches. He also works extensively as a consultant within large international organizations. His experience has taught him what works and what doesn’t. Effective Coaching strips away the theory and academic definitions in favor of practical exercises, stories, anecdotes, and conversations, leaving the ability to coach in the readers’ hands.Effective Coaching is not a book for the theorists. It is a book for practitioners, written by a true expert. «
