If nothing else, it makes you think!,

This review is from: Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building a Team of Champions (Hardcover)
The fundamentals........
- Coaching is at the heart of Leadership, - Your colleagues, subordinates, team members.......look at the heart and lives of their leaders, - Leaders must not only 'walk the talk' their reality must be 'living the talk', - Great leaders are demonstrably those who put coaching as their foremost priority, - To 'live the talk' leaders must clarify their 'life plan' and how thier work and career objective align with that plan. There's a lot more, but Harkavy walks through his belief and method for establishing your 'life plan', and subsequently using it for developing your career objectives - within which coaching is at the heart. Lots of 'tools' for the reader to use are included throughout the 'process'. The book is American, with Daniel Harkavy's heart on his sleeve. But it's written in an engaging very-easy-to-read way. I've read it twice and it takes a few hours each time. It makes you think.

This review is from: Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building a Team of Champions (Hardcover)
Would you like to help your team members become more effective, and enjoy their work and personal lives more? Daniel Harkavy teaches you how to do just that by becoming an effective coaching leader. The key to his method is modeling the qualities and behaviors you want to instill in others. To be a coaching leader (and not a mere manager), you need conviction, courage and honesty. By embracing listening and learning, and considering what matters in your life, you can successfully coach people to progress by helping them define their own "Core Four" levels. People who develop a life plan and a business vision, and who manage their priorities, can see how their work contributes to their happiness and sense of purpose. Then, based on their vision statements, they can set clear, purposeful goals that are specific enough to be operational. getAbstract applauds Harkavy's systematic approach to coaching employees and ultimately adding value to your business.

A good approach to becoming a better and more connected leader,
By Craig Matteson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building a Team of Champions (Hardcover)
Each of us has had bosses of varying ability, approach to their job, and interest in us or the company they work for. Face it; some of them you would work very hard for and others you never want to see or talk to again. Which manager did you enjoy more? Which made you work seem like something special rather than endless drudgery? This book shows you how to become the kind of boss that makes life better for everyone. Daniel Karkavy calls this approach the coaching-leader. He has his own executive coaching practice and shares his approach with his clients in this book.
He presents his material in twelve chapters divided into three parts. First, he explains what he means by "coaching-leader" and what the benefits of the approach are. In part 2 he takes you through his "Core Four" process. Basically, you create your Life Plan first so you are clear what matters to you most. Second, you write a Business Vision so you understand its connection to your Life Plan and what you want to accomplish at work. This is followed by a Business Plan so you structure the vision with a practical approach to work. Now that you have these three parts completed you are ready to deal with the pressing issues of setting priorities and dealing with pressing issues. You will see clearly what needs to be dealt with, what should be delegated, and what is irrelevant. The key is that you also teach this method to each member of your team and coach them through their own implementation of the process. The third part is about the practical application of this method as teacher and coach including the tools you should use to achieve your aims. This is a pretty good book. The writing is somewhat clunky at times and a tad repetitive, but the ideas are good, its heart is in a great place, and I think it can help anyone become a better and more effective leader.

Great book!,
By Another grateful reader "Amy" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Becoming a Coaching Leader: The Proven Strategy for Building a Team of Champions (Hardcover)
The methodology in this book will change how you see your work and give you the tools to be a better and more purposeful leader. I'm coached by the author's firm, Building Champions, and their process allows you to take a step back and view your work (and life) in 4 step approach that is really wonderful. Check it out!
