Get A Coach, Be A Coach: Using the Power of Self-Directed Performance Coaching to Accelerate Results - Hardcover
Inhaltsangabe
A step-by-step guide to supercharging the coaching culture inside your organization, from the New York Times bestselling author of The Oz Principle and The Wisdom of Oz.
Coaching is the most effective method for boosting human performance. Studies shows that it increases productivity by 88%. Coaching, however, has become increasingly exclusive due to the high costs of external coaches. Managers, responsible for coaching the people on their teams, are overburdened by an ever-increasing span of control with little time to coach. The solution: extend coaching to the masses, so that everyone, at every level in the organization, can get the coaching they need, when they need it.
A fresh take on a traditional model, Get a Coach, Be a Coach combines decades of first-hand experience with real-life stories and practical exercises. Drawing on over 30 years of advising senior management all over the world, authors Roger Connors, Jeff Adcock, Kelly Andrews, and Seth Connors offer a bottoms-up strategy: Self-Directed Performance Coaching. Unlike most coaching styles, this innovative approach puts the Learner, not the Coach, in charge of the learner-coach relationship.
Self-Directed Performance Coaching is for anyone, from brand-new hires and middle managers to senior leaders and C-level executives, who seeks to boost performance. All you have to do is:
• Identify your Most Important Thing, whether it’s that pitch you want to deliver or client you want to impress,
• Find a Coach who's a Level Up, or someone who has already acquired the skills and experience you need,
• Coach your Coach, or guide your coaching relationship to meet your specific learning needs, and
• Be a Coach, and share your newfound expertise with the next generation of Learners.
This book is for all who want to create a thriving coaching culture within their organization.

Introduction
If you could find a better way to get the results in your job, would you be interested? How about in your personal life? If this better way could help you get real traction and produce visible progress, would that be compelling? As a leader, if you could help the teams you depend upon to meaningfully improve their performance, would you want that?
It’s not often that something new comes along that can make a meaningful difference in getting things done at the personal, team, and organizational levels. There’s no shortage of claims… everyone makes the promise of improvement and progress, even when they know that it might not happen.
This is different. What we are going to show you in this book really works. It’s based on current research, meets the “common sense” rule, is field-tested and is probably something you have actually done before.
It’s getting coaching—advice, help, know-how, expertise, and support—when you need it, for anything you might be doing. Imagine having the ability to reach out to an expert when you are stuck trying to solve a problem in your job. How about doing something for the first time? We are going to show you how to get the coaching you need anytime you need it, anywhere you are, and for anything you are doing. Now, duplicate that ability across the teams in your organization. What impact would that have on performance?
In Get a Coach | Be a Coach, we introduce you to a new approach to coaching that successful people use all the time. For those like Tom Brady, Oprah Winfrey, and Mark Zuckerberg, it just seems to be a natural part of who they are. In fact, they surround themselves with coaches. We are sure that you’ve done it too—looked to others for coaching. We call this new approach to coaching: Self-Directed Performance Coaching, and it’s a powerful process for helping you become even more successful at anything you do.
