This book shows how leaders are moving away from the management era to the coach leadership era of today and emphasizes that to increase performance, it's the responsibility of the leader to increase thinking and to become the Chief Thinking Officer. If leaders want high levels of performance, they can no longer deal only with surface level actions and behaviors. They must dive deep and ask the same of others in order to better understand the thinking and feelings of every member of the organization. RESULTS COACHING is the new essential for today's school leaders. Being a "coach-leader" is a key competency, a new identity, for anyone in the business of developing teachers, staff, and students. Because coaching language and skills require alignment of the integrity of one's attitudes and behaviors, coaching continually strengthens emotional intelligence for self-awareness, self-control, motivation, social awareness, and skill enhancement. On a daily basis, coaching challenges the leader to 'walk the talk' - continuously growing and improving self before modeling and leading others. RESULTS COACHING: Leading for Growth and Change This book, building upon the authors' first book, Results Coaching: The New Essential for School Leaders, will take school leaders of all titles to new heights with depth and complexity of essential skills and acceleration of these skills and tools into internalization and application. With all the information available on coaching, the transfer and real application are not apparent. Our readers realize that coaching is a mindset and it is an identity that aligns with one's belief in others. Our seminar participants want more; our readers want more. Our participants learn that being a coach leader requires alignment of our own beliefs and mindset before expecting growth and change in others. The total focus is impact and results.
