About this ebook

You’ve made it to manager! But balancing a hectic schedule with empowering your team is proving challenging and you’re struggling to delegate. So how do you make this all work? How you do get the best from yourself, your team and still have a life outside work?

The answer is to Think Like a Coach.

This simple yet transformative approach to managing a team focuses on three fundamental coaching skills that you're already using daily: listening, asking questions and summarising. With subtle shifts in your conversations to leverage these skills, you can embrace a coach-like management style which will:

> Boost the performance and productivity of your team.

> Promote commitment, personal responsibility and self-sufficiency.

> Free up precious time to focus on important tasks.

> Make recruitment and retention easier and smoother.

> Drive and deliver excellence in a team that’s motivated and empowered.

Seamlessly integrating into your everyday management style, Think Like a Coach is your trusty go-to guide that bridges the gap between theory and reality. It shows how, even in high-pressure scenarios, it’s still possible to tap into the true potential of your team, empower their success and become the manager your team truly needs and deserves.
