Today, coaching is recognized to be one of the most effective human
resource development processes available, and it is becoming
increasingly popular in organizations of all sizes. Faced with
historically low levels of employee engagement (as little as 13%
according to Gallup's latest survey), business leaders see coaching as
key to unlocking the human talent, creativity, and innovation that is
hiding in plain sight in their workplaces. And rather than bring in
external coaches for this purpose, they want to integrate coaching into
their company culture--a 2015 study by the International Coaching
Federation (ICF) and the Human Capital Institute (HCI) found that 81% of
organizations surveyed planned to train managers/leaders in coaching
skills. The Master Coach is written for these leaders, and is
perfectly positioned to become the definitive book on the topic. Drawing
on the wealth of experience that has made Gregg Thompson and Bluepoint
Leadership Development the choice of numerous Fortune 100 companies, it
illuminates the essence of what it takes to be a great coach. The
Master Coach will appeal to leaders at all organization levels, showing
them how to make a significant shift in their attitudes, values and
behaviors and become more coach-like in all of their daily interactions
and conversations.The Master Coach is based on the simple but profound
3Cs Coaching Model. This proven approach asserts that to master the art
of coaching one must have an exemplary Character that invites the trust
of others, be able to form rapid Connections with others at deeply
personal level, and have the ability to initiate and guide intense,
attitude-changing Conversations. At every step, Thompson reminds readers
that coaching is not merely about what the coach says or does; it is
about who he or she is.
