To create a sustainable, competitive advantage for your organization, you need a team-based, feedback-rich, high-performance culture that relies on transformational 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 coaching 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.

Even leaders need leading. In this greatly changing world, ministry experts Steve Ogne and Tim Roehl have coined the phrase "transformissional" to define the unique type of inspired coaching they offer to spiritual leaders in need of fresh direction.

This book is a basic coaching how-to with an emphasis on church planting, coaching post-moderns and working with leaders. While it covers some of the same ground as other how-to books (like Coaching Christian Leaders or Leadership Coaching), it adds some valuable information on coaching missional leaders and post-moderns that is not found anywhere else. A good addition to a coaches library.
