Book Description

This edition will continue to provide specific actions that every manager can take, and will also include a new preface by the author and new material to reflect recent workplace trends: flextime, the flattening of hierarchies, peer reviews and 360 degree feedback, increased attention to occupational stress and safety, telecommuting, computer technology, the proliferation of service industries, increased use of temporary workers, and violence in the workplace.

First Sentence
In the first national study I conducted to analyze the effectiveness of management-performance-appraisal programs, most companies stated that the most important part of their appraisal program was the appraisal interview-the face-to-face meeting between the manager and the employee. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent down to earth guide to managing people., 1 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I wandered into a library 20 years ago looking for a book on managing people and was lucky enough to find Coaching for Improved Work Performance first. It's guidance and basic precepts have proven true time and time again in my experience working wiht individuals from all walkks of life. Throught the years I have attended and led many training sessions on managing people. Each of them merely rephrase the sage advice given in this book. I recommend it to anyone in their first 1-5 years of leading teams and have personally purchased it for coworkers and relatives embarking on this track.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended!, 2 Dec 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Novice and experienced managers, coaches and teachers, and anyone else who wants to influence other peoples' behavior or performance will benefit from Ferdinand F. Fournies' book on coaching. He describes specific intervention tactics and shows how to apply them. Use this manual to eliminate managerial frustration. It can be your stepping stone to creating a successful, high-performing department. Fournies' concepts can help even seasoned managers deal with difficult staff, solve problems in their departments and achieve greater results through their employees. If you are a new manager or wish to be one, this essential resource and training tool is required reading. We also recommend it as a strong addition to any management curriculum.
