Opis

When it comes to mentoring, peer coaching is an unsung workhorse. It's effective, inexpensive, widely applicable, and relatively easy to implement. Many coaches consider it to be the next wave in professional development. Yet, it hasn't received the in-depth treatment that it deserves--until now. Peer Coaching at Work draws on research and practice to deliver a hands-on guide to this powerful relational learning technique. The authors--all leaders in the field--present a rigorously tested three-part model for facilitating peer coaching relationships in one-on-one settings and larger groups. With lively case studies and cautionary notes, they define peer coaching as a focused relationship between equals who support each other's professional goals. This dynamic uniquely enables individuals to supportively learn from, actively listen to, and judiciously question each other, which leads to breakthroughs that may otherwise lay dormant in one's career. A fundamental guide for scholars with an interest in mentoring and those who foster transformational learning, this book is a must-have for the talent management bookshelf.
