4.0 out of 5 stars
great for the new coach or manager, 22 November, 2002,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tao of Coaching: Boost Your Effectiveness at Work by Inspiring and Developing Those Around You (Paperback)
This was the first title I read when I became a coach and I found it to be the best introduction one could hope for.It provides a step by step guide to the founding principles of coaching and is intelligently simple. The tale of Alex that runs through the book made it an enjoyable read but I found it to be a rather artificial (Anyone who behaved as ineptly as Alex in the company I work for would have been sacked years ago). Overall this book is a great introduction to business coaching but does not go far enough to be of value to those with experience in the role. I would suggest reading it when you start to coach and then give it to someone who would like to start to coach.

Easy to read , well structured, useful and amusing.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao of Coaching: Boost Your Effectiveness at Work by Inspiring and Developing Those Around You (Paperback)
This book covers all the important pointers to becoming a good workplace coach. It also acts as a great refresher for experienced coaches who want to check that they are still on track. Simple to read and easy to follow it will take only a very few hours of any busy person's time to gain some insight into the power of coaching. I particulaly liked the tips on overcoming coaching blocks - especially as they actually work! The summaries at the end of each chapter are a gift if you are a person who just likes to cut to the chase. The cartoons convey valuable coaching messages in an entertaining way. There are many other coaching books on the market - this one gets my vote.

A perfect introduction,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Tao of Coaching: Boost Your Effectiveness at Work by Inspiring and Developing Those Around You (Paperback)
The Tao of Coaching is probably one of the best "light-weight" introductions to "the fine art of coaching" and it provides valuable input to the development of your coaching skills that you may benefit from both in your professional life and beyond.In the Tao of Coaching, Max Landsberg illustrates his points through the story of Alex who in the beginning wonders whether he will be elected to the Board of Directors and why it took a year longer than he expected to be promoted to a senior management position and how Alex in the beginning uses the stick rather than the carrot as his management philosophy. Gradually we follow Alex as he develops from an autocratic manager into a coaching leader and as he experiences the power of asking questions rather than giving orders. Interspersed between the selected episodes of Alex's life, Max Landsberg introduces some basic coaching techniques and provides several valuable tools for self-assessment.
