This review is from: Power Tools - Top executive coaches put you on the fast track to success (Paperback)
This book review is different, because Power Tools:
Top Executive Coaches Put You on the Fast Track to Success is different. The brainchild of Ann Mah, a Legislator in State of Kansas, in her spare time brought nineteen of the best Business & Personal Coaches to share their insights, in one chapter. "Success is what you do in your spare time." The result is a three-part focus with six chapters in each section: essential tools for managers, tools to build winning teams, and high impact leadership. For the reason that this is a multi-authored book gives it a special diversity of solid viewpoints, but on a far-reaching area of topics: from giving and receiving feedback, office politics for women, career management (hang on for the ride!), to foreign service etiquette and an amazing array of foundational leadership skills for success. If you struggle upon occasion with the "boss" or as the leader, struggle with your employees, the book is a must-read. At just 227 pages and the suggested $14.95 price, it's a steal for your library - or gift to your boss! In the back of the book are more pages of resources for personal-development minded people representing the 18 coaches superb products. The book may change your paradigm -- your pattern of thinking -- about supervision, management and leadership -- lessons that often spillover to your personal life quality.
