If most coaching guides look as if you'd need a coach just to get through them, you'll love this itty-bitty guide, which zooms in on the most important aspects of organizational-workplace coaching, from selecting an effective personal coaching style and preparing and shaping a coaching session to followup steps, dealing with barriers to coaching, troubleshooting, and more advanced coaching, such as team coaching, long-distance coaching, coaching plus appraising, and assessing your own coaching skills. On every page, boxed "power tips," quickie case studies and self-tests, to-do checklists, and easy-to-follow flowcharts demystify the process. Granted, if you're looking for specific or in-depth guidance, you may find this book too general in its approach. But if you're looking for a thumbnail guide to the basics, it'll do just fine.
It's worth mentioning that the book is also part of reference publisher Dorling-Kindersley's Essential Managers series--20 itty-bitty books on business and career topics ranging from communication, leadership, and decision-making to the management of time, budgets, change, meetings, people, projects, and teams. Combining the For Dummies series' talent for breaking down a lot of information into bite-sized bits and sidebars with Dorling-Kindersley's signature, crisp graphics on a gleaming white backdrop, they don't represent the cutting edge of business thinking and they don't necessarily reflect any unique individual perspective.
Instead, it's as though someone collated the best general thinking on these 20 topics and rolled them out into 72 brightly designed and easy-to-read pages, studded along the way with boxed tips, color shots of a multiracial cast of "coworkers" animatedly hashing through the workplace issues of the day, and a self-test of one's skills in the topic at hand on the last few pages of each volume. Again, they're not for anyone looking for in-depth or focused help on any of the subjects they cover, but they're perfect as a quickie general-interest reference... and let's face it, they're so cute, and look so smart in a neat little stack or row, that you'll probably want to buy a whole bunch to give to your entire department or staff. --Timothy Murphy

Thin but all in one,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: DK Essential Managers: Coaching Successfully (Paperback)
When I received this book from Amazon, it was true that I was disappointed a little bit because it looked very thin and small. Yeah, the price was good but... However, when I started reading this book, I found that it was totally efficient and portable. Very visual pictures were included in this book so it was very good to understand even thought it was a little bit hard subject.

This review is from: DK Essential Managers: Coaching Successfully (Paperback)
Great little book for visual learners like me! For a new coach, this easy to carry little book helps review points and build confidence before appointments. Illustrations, diagrams and checklists are great to use in helping prioritize what needs to be addressed with clients, how to do so, and how to remain focused and be a better coach. I highly recommend it as a general pocket guide that is easy to carry with you because it's small, easy to read, understand and implement.
