Peter Ferdinand Drucker. The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to 'get the right things done'. Usually this involves doing what other people have overlooked, as well as avoiding what is unproductive.
Chapter 2 - Management Coaching Skills Coaching involves the coach and the coachee working together to create changes. The main skills required by the coach involve focusing on goals, listening, asking non-leading questions, and giving non-judgmental feedback. Chapter 3 - Differences Between Coaching and Training Training is driven by the trainer, who will control most of both the process and the content in order to transfer knowledge or develop a new skill as efficiently as possible.
In contrast, coaching is driven by questions addressed to the coachee, who then explores what they already know, but in a way that would probably not occur to them without the guidance of a coach. Chapter 4 - Differences Between Coaching and Mentoring? In a mentoring relationship, the advice and expertise sought from the mentor will be broad based, with the objective of developing the individual for future roles both on a career and personal level.
In a coaching relationship, the coach does not typically pass on experience or give advice, but rather uses questions and feedback to facilitate the coachee's thinking and practical learning. Chapter 5 - Internal and External Coaches - Advantages and Disadvantages Coaching can be done using professional coaching services supplied by an independent firm or consultancy, or it can be done by the manager themselves or by someone else within the organization.
As part of your decision-making process you will have to consider the advantages and disadvantages of each of these approaches. Chapter 6 - Formal and Informal Coaching Where formal coaching is being used, both the manager and the team member will be clear that they are engaged in 'coaching' and will be explicitly committed to the process. Informal coaching can happen as part of the everyday conversation between the manager and a team member if the manager is using a collaborative leadership style.
Chapter 7 - Coaching Skills for Managers The coach must not be judgmental, must believe that the coachee is capable of improving their performance, and be committed to ongoing support. The coachee must be allowed to set the agenda, define the actions required as a result of the coaching session, and demonstrate their accountability for these actions by reporting the progress they have made in the subsequent session.
Chapter 8 - Successful Coaching Skills There are seven key skills you need for successful coaching: active listening, building rapport, asking questions, demonstrating empathy, using intuition, goal setting, and giving feedback. Another key part of being a successful coach is the use of a coaching model that aids this learning process. Practical and useful I've read a few 'big' books on coaching that made me think it was too difficult to implement with the time and resources I have available.
This eBook, on the other hand, has made me think about implementing coaching principles in a less formal way. I was also interested to learn about how management coaching emerged from sports coaching - something I hadn't really thought about before.
I would say that this book highlights the principles of coaching in an easy to understand and straightforward fashion.
I found it really useful and well worth the time it took to read. Jason Rogers. Recommended if you want to improve your coaching efforts To be honest, I have always considered myself to be quite strong in the area of coaching. So when I came across this 'Coaching Principles' eBook, I wasn't all too interested because I believed I had already gathered enough skills in that arena. However, I decided to go ahead and give the book a read, and am glad that I did.
While there is admittedly some content that was not anything new to me, there was more than enough new information to make it worth my time. My experience in coaching comes mostly from sports, and I always had translated that experience into the workplace. While that method is sometimes effective, it is not always the best approach. After reading this quick book, I feel that I will have more tools available to me as part of my overall coaching strategy.
Early on in this book I hit on a point that I think has probably been lacking in my coaching over the years. Since I come from a sports coaching background, I am used to giving instruction and haven't been open to feedback from the person being coached. I am certain that is where many people fail as communicators and I hope to avoid that pitfall myself, so if you take nothing else from this book, learn to be an active and honest listener.
Aside from listen I found this guide to provide good insight into the styles of communicating and how to determine which one is best for you. The primary methods of communicating discussed in the book are active, logical, connector, thinker, and combiner.
The book does a good job of clearly and simply defining each of these methods in an easy to follow chart and if nothing else, you should look over that section. In addition to the methods of communicating, you will also learn about the attitudes of communication which are passive, passive aggressive, aggressive, and assertive, each of which has its pros and cons. Mehrabian's rule of the '3 v's' is another unique topic covered and contrary to mainstream belief in shows that non-verbal cues are not more important that spoken words.
This theory has apparently been misquoted numerous times leading to the confusion. If for no other reason, I would suggest reading the book to learn the truth about Mehrabian's theory, one that has held true for over 40 years now. Another area of particular interest for me was the section outlining the importance of Para-verbal signals which include things such as tone, speed, and emphasis. When you correctly Para-verbal signals can change the complete meaning of a statement and leave a meaningful impact on the listener.
Written Para-verbal signals of the other hand include things like punctuation, layout, and grammar. Each of those items can also completely change the meaning of a sentence and should not be overlooked. Reason is of course the purpose for your communication. Environment takes into account the specifics of whom and where you will communicate.
Specific is the reason for your communications; what do you want to achieve? Understanding as you can imagine is arguably the most important part and is where you must ensure the listener understands what you need from them.
A common theme among communication, the listen portion refers to you being an active listener and the time frame is making reference to how long you have to make the needed communication. The final section of this book looks at some common barriers to communication and the best ways to identify and avoid them.
Overall a good read but some sections are redundant, still worth reading in my opinion though. Sarah Brewer. Author: Peter F. Published in the book become immediate popular and critical acclaim in business, leadership books. The book has been awarded with Booker Prize, Edgar Awards and many others.

The effective executive knows that to manage his time, he first has to know where it actually goes. And, you must take responsibility for the whole decision. All you can do is hope that the decision you made is the best solution to the problem at hand. This will help you to become more open-minded and less biased. Great employees are not born, they are made. Companies that encourage self-development in their employees are the most successful.
You must also work to develop yourself, as an executive. Feedback is not only essential for your employees but for you, as well. That is how these companies keep being successful. There are restraints for every executive, whether it be budget, the number of employees, or rules they must follow.
But, there are things you can adjust to help solve issues, such as raising profits in order to be able to hire more employees. Keeping a time diary can help you to understand how much time you are wasting. For example, spending more time making a decision might be valuable because it will outweigh the time needed to clean up the mess of a wrong decision.
It is important to cut out things that kill time. No more executive dinners or obligatory meetings. These are not productive. Meetings are essential in the workplace, but as an executive, make sure you are only inviting the people who need to be in attendance.
Short meetings are sometimes good meetings because they are focused and to the point. As an executive, you are not working alone. You must depend on others in the company. A general rule to follow is, if you are good at the job, do it yourself. As an effective executive, you have a job too. As an executive, you must find what you can offer to the company and focus on that. Tending to that relationship will only help the company to work as a more productive team.
And, the work environment feels more collaborative to its employees. A collaborative work environment has its benefits because it clouds individual weaknesses and showcases strengths within the team. This will help you to attract the right people to your company. Understand what exactly it is you need before you send out a job description.
The most important thing to consider with a new hire is if they can meet the results you need, not if they have a degree behind them. And, when you find the perfect hire for your company, discover their strengths and weaknesses, and help them to develop further.
To become an effective leader you must look at your own strengths and weaknesses, delegate roles to employees based on their skills, and work effectively with others in a collaborative environment.
