Coaching-style leadership eBook

There’s no way of avoiding it any more. Coaching has become the management style that is applied in an increasing number of organisations. The aim: to encourage staff to become more autonomous. Many managers find it difficult to take this role upon themselves. They feel that they need to know everything, be able to solve all their staffs problems, and they are accustomed to doing so. They find it a problem to delegate because they then have to let go of control. They are convinced that they should treat and manage everyone in the same way. But each employee is different and faces different challenges in his development process. Coaching-style Leadership provides you with the support you need in your professional development processes and enables you to think about the way you manage and coach your staff and how you can improve on this. You will find a lot of practical information, including different aspects of communicating, providing feedback, intervention styles and the coaching cycle. In short, you learn how you can get the best out of your staff. Marieta Koopmans is a social psychologist and specialises in one-to-one coaching of managers under the name C’enter. She also works as a freelance giving leadership training courses for Schouten & Nelissen.
