What is a leader? People who lead do so in a variety of ways, and they aren't always the formal, designated leaders. They often lead by influence-influence acquired by stepping up to offer ideas, role-model values, or to share their knowledge and expertise. They're the informal leaders of our workplaces, and they're the ones organizations should mentor and develop for their next leadership contribution.Great leaders know that cultivating people and teams is the key to sustained results, and in this book, Jan Salisbury equips leaders with the know-how and best practices to lead others through the coach approach. If you want to be a leader who coaches, this book will reward your curiosity and give you a place to begin your coaching practice within your own organization.
