Sir John definitely knows the power of coaching for performance. He systematically shows how coaching is the preferred tool of choice for those that realise change is here to stay. Im not too sure who would benefit from reading this book. New coaches - I doubt it. Those aspiring to coaching - not really. Managers in corporations - definitely.
This is definitely not a self development book but therin lies its power. This book is for those who truly desire to be more effective in their work, their relationships and with their teams.
Sir John gives practical guidance and a model which really does work. I read the book, put it into practice and saw results.
A little too theoretical and academic at times but well worth perservering. Worth the read. Come on Sir john how about a sequel.
