Triple Win Leadership Coaching

 

Triple Win Leadership Coaching, Will Linssen, 2025

This book is not for managers or CEOs looking for the newest way to improve their business. This book is for the coaches who come into a company to help fix whatever is holding them back.

Before agreeing to spend several months at a company, make sure that everyone involved is on board. If the coaching is being imposed on a manger from above, and the manager doesn't agree that coaching is necessary, there could be real problems. In the beginning, the manager will be full of enthusiasm about the coaching process. After a few weeks, or months, the moment will come when the manager no longer wants to do it (Can't I buy some software to fix the problem?). That is when the coach must buckle down and keep going.

The coach should interview the manager's direct co-workers. Have each of them come up with two strengths of the manager, and two areas that need improvement. Give that list to the manager, with names removed. Have the manager choose two areas for the coach to help improve. Don't try to fix "everything."

This is a specialized book, but an excellent one. It can help people at all business levels, and is very much worth reading.
