Review
I've just finished reading an advance copy of The Dos and Don'ts of Work Team Coaching and found it a very useful book.
This little book packs a lot of power in its small size, which makes it very handy for busy managers and employees. It is easy to read---full of good tips, great examples and a healthy dose of humor. -- Barbara Taylor, Executive Director, The Institute for Management Excellence. February 9, 1998
From the Publisher
Anyone interested in work team dynamics and leadership will find a wealth of intelligent, common sense in this easy-reading yet provocative book. Carl Sagan once said, "The person making a claim is responsible for proving it." Some claims and principles expressed in this book are supported by the testimony of the accompanying anecdotes. Some are reinforced by a logical basis, often no more than a single sentence in length. Many of the dos and don'ts merit an entire chapter to themselves, with supporting statistics and other types of proof. However, we feel that approach would have resulted in laborious reading. We believe most of the fundamentals presented in this book---to borrow a phrase from a somewhat more famous document---to be self-evident. The principles are therefore presented briefly, for your consideration and contemplation.

A very practical tool with good advice on work team coaching,

This review is from: The Dos and Don'ts of Work Team Coaching : A comprehensive study of the worker/coach interpersonal relationship (Paperback)
This is a book you will probably want to buy in quantity. It's an affordable little 96-page compendium of the most relevant "Do's and Don'ts" of leading a group of people. What I like about this book is its simplicity. Each "Do" and each "Don't" is accompanied by a short story from real-life situations to help clarify the significant points. These are the issues that tend to get leaders in a lot of trouble, and Steve Herbelin has captured them nicely in this book.

This review is from: The Dos and Don'ts of Work Team Coaching : A comprehensive study of the worker/coach interpersonal relationship (Paperback)
I started reading this book with a bit of skepticism. After all, it's written by the workers. Right from the start, though, this book makes sense. Lots of sense. It presents a philosophical outlook on team leadership that gets to the core --- interpersonal relationships --- without using superficial analogies or inventing contrived structures. Just common sense about how to deal with people and situations in a real, straightforward manner. Over and over again I found myself thinking things like, "Yes, I know that. That's true. Right on!" It's mostly things that we already know, but maybe need a little book like this to give us the confidence to more often do the right thing and act the right way. If everyone applied the principles outlined in "The Dos and Don'ts of Work Team Coaching," the world would certainly be a better place in which to work. I'm going to keep it handy and read it again someday, and again.
