This is not really a book about coaching at all. It should be called 'performance management for emotional intelligence' instead. This is about telling people what they do right, or wrong, praising and correcting. That's management, not coaching. But still some good ideas.

I utilize this method of coaching everyday

[Alex · Rating 3 out of 5]

the book is about giving feedback, not couching in its usual meaning (i.e. increasing responsibility and awareness).
