High-performing companies are focused on developing managers who work closely with their staff. They need to define work priorities in line with business imperatives and goals, support achievements and ongoing career development, and most importantly, clarify performance issues and guide performance improvement. Our current workplace challenge is to prescript the ?performance? artifact into a positive, engaging and motivational phenomenon. When the word ?performance? is mentioned, it should evoke excitement and curiosity, not dread. In many respects, this is the culture change we desperately need in business. A high performance culture should be the norm, not the exception. Lauron Buys?s High Performance Coaching for Managers provides managers with the necessary tools and processes required to reframe the performance phenomenon. Lauron draws from many of the world?s leading thinkers in his synthesis of the best performance coaching approaches, and his book is jam-packed with clever, effective coaching tips. Each chapter offers the reader user-friendly, practical know-how, without all the pomp and philosophical fluff often found in too many coaching books today.
