Every coach should read this book!,
By Jeff Griffin (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterful Coaching (Hardcover)
In the last ten years since I started coaching managers and leaders, I have read almost everything out there on the subject. This book stands out! The distinctions Hargrove makes about coaching provide clarity, while being very useable and transferable to others. He also writes in a very readable style, and balances profundity and humor to get his points across. Some points that I found especially useful were:How to generate a powerful coaching relationship by clarifying what each person needs to bring to the party. I found this extremely helpful in re-igniting an ebbing coaching relationship. Hargrove writes that a leader needs to "be the source" of their impossible future or what it is that they want to create. He shows how to coach someone to do this. Thinking drives behavior. Hargrove provides clarity and examples on how to coach people in a more profound and deeper way than the usual tips and techniques that novice coaches give. Hargrove also writes about getting feedback for the coaching client by doing interviews rather than using the typical 360 degree feedback forms. He says, "If more than one person calls you a horse, saddle up!" I recommend this book to coaches, managers and leaders who want to up the level of their game.

Fantastic revision of an already great book!,
By Jeff Griffin (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterful Coaching (Hardcover)
I found Hargrove's book inspiring, insightful, and useful. I had read his first book - which was pivotal for me in creating my own coaching business-- and have found that he has taken this work to another level-a very compelling, as well as easy read. The two parts that I found most applicable to my own coaching clients were his step-by-step approach to coaching executives and the part on creating a "laboratory" that fosters collaboration within a group. I was able to bring these principles to a client who was wowed by what we were able to generate for her business. I would recommend this book to any coach, internal and external to a company, as well as to any leader who wants to create an "impossible future."

An Excellent Guide Through the Field,
By Stewart Levine, author "The Book of Agre... (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterful Coaching (Hardcover)
Coaching has become a great buzz word. Everyone has or is a coach. I've wondered for years what coaching is really about. And now I understand. Any good professional - therapist, consultant,lawyer, clergyman, doctor, accountant - must spend part of their time moving clients from A to B. "Masterful Coaching" let's you know how to do that in a thoughtful and thorough way. Thank you Robert. PS: Though many people don't like Werner Erhardt the person, the organization he built, and his marketing/sales tactics let's not throw away the fundamental soundness of the tools he shared.
