John Bennett makes the case for why coaching is essential in the present moment, how coaching can be a practice within the role of the manager, and further how it can be done effectively.
Kenneth H. Carter, Jr., Bishop, The United Methodist Church and Consulting Faculty, Duke University Divinity School

In this ever-dynamic world, The Manager’s Guide to Coaching for Change is a must for any leader seeking to fully unlock the potential of their team.
Denise Hartmann, Senior Vice President, Dispersions, Americas, BASF Corporation

This is a brilliant and pragmatic book. It is excellent for any manager who wants to introduce coaching into leadership. However, it is incredibly good even if you are already a professional coach. It is a unique integration of the theory, research, and practice. Using even some of the ideas will lead to better work relationships, engagement, performance, and leadership. I found it helpful myself and will have my leaders buy this book. You should too.
