Yesterday’s management skills do not guarantee success in today’s or tomorrow’s organizations. To create a sustainable, competitive advantage for your organization, you need a team-based, feedback-rich, high-performance culture that relies on coaching as the universal, connective practice.

The Heart of Coaching introduces "Transformational Coaching" as a fundamentally different way of approaching the process of leading others to enhance their performance. It creates egalitarian, mutually supportive, high-trust partnerships between people that transcend the traditional boss/subordinate roles. Shifting your mindset from "The Boss" to "The Coach" is essential for this transformation. This book is a clear guide for accomplishing that shift.

Transformational Coaching is the requisite skill for today’s leaders, managers, and supervisors who choose to enhance their personal effectiveness and the performance of those they lead.
