Quiet Leadership: Six Steps to Transforming Performance at Work By Rock David - Paperback

nice book.

Inspirational book! I now have all the confidence I require for world domination.

Good coaching is simply helping people with their thinking, according to the author. I agree. David Rock explains principles of effective coaching and its powerful impact on and in the brains of people we coach, and his explanations have helped me learn new approaches to use in my professional work as a corporate coach. Two faults with the book: First, the title "Quiet Leadership" misses the potential audience of coaches (as professional coaches don't lead you but rather help you discover possible paths from which you choose your way forward), and the emphasis on QUIET may be unappealing to the often bold and noisy leaders who would most benefit from learning how to lead while coaching to better performance. Second, at times it seems the author is trying to impress me with how smart he is, and the "war stories" get in the way of getting to the meat of the techniques to use. Still, I found great value in the book and highly recommend it to coaches and aspiring coaches, along with works by John Whitmore, Alan Fine, W. Timothy Gallwey. This book will help you learn better coaching questions to ask, help you better understand what goes on within your client's/coachee's mind and brain when you coach well, and get better at noticing your client's/coachee's reactions to your coaching efforts. I'm a better coach from having read and applied things David Rock presents.

Ecxellent book on leadership skills. Written in clear and crisp language. The skills mentioned are very much practical and will take the leadership attribute to a long way. Everyone should go for this book.

Thanks , was in search of the book
