Coaching is a vital skill for managers, serving as a fundamental component of an organization's talent efforts. It encompasses talent acquisition, development, and retention strategies, and its success hinges on its recognition as a valuable approach throughout the organization. Performance Coaching for Managers offers a valuable tool for organizations to train their managers in coaching. This book distinguishes itself from other coaching books in its approach. While some books portray coaches as facilitators who guide clients in articulating their problems, formulating solutions, and developing action plans, this book adopts a directive approach. The coach is cast as a manager who diagnoses job performance issues and provides specific advice on resolving them. While a nondirective approach can be effective, it may not be ideal for job performance reviews where managers need to communicate gaps between desired and actual performance. The key difference between this book and existing offerings in the market lies in the authors' collective experience of over 70 years in hands-on research and delivery experiences in the Human Resources Development field. According to the Harvard Business Review (2015), workers expect honest feedback and specific guidance from their immediate supervisors on job performance. By offering a directive coaching approach, this book empowers managers to provide valuable insights and recommendations to their employees, fostering growth and development in their careers.
