We live in an era of rapid change and high uncertainty. Constant challenges demand not only new knowledge but also the ability to quickly adapt, master new roles, and approaches. In such conditions, it is important to rethink the value of each person – whether it is a colleague in the team, a creative employee, or a difficult teenager. Each person has immense, often unrecognized potential that can be unlocked and directed towards achieving meaningful goals.
Coaching addresses exactly these tasks: to unlock opportunities, help realize responsibility, and inspire independence. At the core of the approach is unconditional respect for the individual. Communication between adults as equals. Openness based on trust. These principles do not change at the behest of authority. Therefore, it is challenging to implement a culture of coaching in companies with a directive management style.
But if you manage to become a coach, you will be able to make this management approach fundamental in your team, and you will be rewarded with a huge benefit: you will be surrounded by independent, responsible people who love and are capable of solving newly arising tasks. To achieve this, you must work not only with those who come for advice or are in subordination but also with yourself.
How exactly – this is what our collection is about. In it, you will find the value basis of coaching, detailed instructions with questions, and a set of tools with examples of dialogues. We have gathered the best ideas from 12 global bestsellers – both classic and newer ones that have not yet been translated into Russian – into one book. We guarantee a systematic and current understanding of coaching. As usual in this series, infographics before each summary will help you visualize what you read and remember the most important points.
