Review

"""A practical book for anyone who wants ideas today about how to coach better tomorrow. Bob Wall knows what he's talking about--and passes that knowledge on to you. His stories and personal reflections put music behind the words."" -- Geoff Bellman, author of Your Signature Path and Getting Things Done When You Are Not in Charge

""Releasing the genius in yourself and others requires an explored life and self-knowledge. Bob Wall has opened the door for readers who hope to achieve these goals."" –Dr. Mehran Ferdowsian, Operations Manager, ATD Global Business

""Bob's structured format for coaching is one that can be easily taught and adapted by everyone. His 'reflections' are quick, mini self-assessments that provide very good insight on the areas managers need to focus on."" -- Johanne Henderson, Continent Manager Training and Organizational Development, BIC Corporation"

Product Description
For managers, coaching for performance and for emotional intelligence are two different things. But that doesn’t mean they exist in different worlds. Performance is just one part of an employee’s overall development as a professional and as a leader -- development which depends on the employee’s emotional intelligence and the ability of the manager to encourage and increase it.

Coaching for Emotional Intelligence provides a carefully planned strategy to help managers address such factors as personality traits, communications styles, and personal behaviors -- the delicate issues that make coaching for EI more challenging than coaching for performance alone.

The book will help readers feel confident and comfortable with sensitive, often personal issues that arise in managing and developing subordinates, and will accelerate the development of high-potential employees and future leaders. Logical, applicable, and realistic, Coaching for Emotional Intelligence makes this often elusive subject simple to grasp -- and easy to nurture in any workplace.

5.0 out of 5 stars I need this book, December 26, 2006

By	Gerard T. Brooker "writer man" (Bethel, CT) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is what I have been looking for. I am called on to supervise the work performance of colleagues who comprise teams that develop cultural exchange conferences. I am embarrassed to admit that sometimes I have overlooked non-productive performances because I did not have the necessary skills to discuss my findings with those in question. I am happy to say that I now have the skills I need, thanks to Bob Wall's "Coaching for Emotional Intelligence." The book lays out clearly the necessary steps to take as a supervisor in sharing difficult and perhaps threatening information about job performance with another so that both supervisor and supervisee remain emotionally intact and improved. I've always thought "win-win" was the best way. Now, with the help of this book, I know how to make that happen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Helpful Guide, January 2, 2007

By	Fred S. - See all my reviews

Bob Wall has written a book that is a trememdous help for leaders. If every manager could tap the potential and coach employees to gain emotional intelligence, performance would soar. Bob's practical book helps managers do just that.
