Book Reviews of Co-Active Coaching, 2nd Edition: New Skills for Coaching People Toward Success in Work and, Life

Book Review: Single Viewpoint
Summary: 2 Stars

This may be a product of my incorrect expectations, but the title and subtitle of this book led me to believe it would provide comprehensive elements of the process of coaching and individual development. Instead, I found what I see all too often in training and human resource works: a presentation of a single methodology which the author has developed, which is not very flexible and focuses on the methodology more than the client's results. I think coaching involves processes which are to be flexibly applied depending on individual, environment, other performers, etc. So I'm not a fan on lock-step techniques which we superimpose on everyone as if we're trying to fix equipment. Perhaps with a different title and subtitle, I wouldn't have been expecting something else (and wouldn't have purchased the book). One final comment: I see no indication of validity of the approaches, merely the assertion that the author practices them.
