With four decades of experience as a leadership coach, Myles Downey knows how to help people bring out the best in themselves and those they lead. In this updated edition of his classic text, he offers practical tools that both professional coaches and team leaders can use to help individuals and organizations achieve performance objectives. Downey details how to use his Effective Coaching Approach to empower people to uncover solutions to challenges and grow their self-understanding. He also offers tips for building trusting relationships and knowing when and how to offer your own insights.

Summary

Guide people to think of their own solutions to challenges.
