Is each individual on your team performing to his or her fullest potential? Are the people who report to you giving you their best?
Renowned business consultant and bestselling author Ken Blanchard and legendary NFL coach Don Shula have motivated teams to peak performances for more than thirty years. They distilled their rich, collective experience down to its key elements and shared their secrets for inspiring others to greatness in their classic work on coaching, Everyone’s a Coach.
By popular demand, Blanchard and Shula have created The Little Book of Coaching. Both Instructive and inspirational, this essential handbook will teach you how to unleash excellence in anyone.
At the heart of this book is a simple acronym that describes the qualities of an effective leader:
Conviction-driven--Never compromise your beliefs
Overlearning--Practice until it's perfect
Audible-ready--Know when to change
Consistency--Respond predictably to performance
Honesty-based--Walk your talk
Using a highly effective "tag-team" approach, Blanchard and Shula impart the five leadership secrets behind this acronym. Shula tells you how each coaching concept worked on the field, and then Blanchard explains how you can apply each strategy in a leadership situation.
"Don Shula and Ken Blanchard--two All-Pros--have authored a Super Bowl winner. This is a great team and a great book."
