It's an amazing book that groups theories and practice for a profession that needs alot of practice. It's a necessity for all new professionals in the field.
Book Description
"This book should be required reading for all teachers and administrators seriously seeking ways to engage teachers in their own professional development and learning."
Rudolph F. Crew, Former Chancellor
New York City Schools
"The book is an action-oriented game plan to improve teachers' performance-designed, initiated, and implemented by teachers. It tackles one of education's toughest issues-teacher isolation."
Anne Bryant, Executive Director
National School Boards Association
"The authors present a wonderfully simple idea for turning a school into a learning community. It is a powerful, growth-oriented strategy for creating instructional focus in a school."
Roy D. Nichols, Jr., Superintendent of Schools
Troup County (GA) Board of Education
Dramatically enhance teaching and learning by reviving teacher collaboration!
Behind a simple equation, 2 + 2, lies a rich yet realistic approach to enhancing teaching and learning. As
Collaborative Peer Coaching That Improves Instruction demonstrates, the current method of job appraisal consists of sporadic classroom visits from school administrators that frequently serve to reinforce teacher isolation rather than promote professional development. In contrast, the 2 + 2 method, a practice where teachers visit each other’s classrooms long enough to provide two compliments and two suggestions for improvement, has not only been proven to enhance teaching skills and student learning, but has also increased job satisfaction by reviving productive teacher collaboration.
Through the presentation of detailed case studies that illustrate the authors’ actual experience implementing the program at an inner city school, this work chronicles how the 2 + 2 method:
Restores the vital connections between teachers and students, teachers and administrators, and teachers and teachers
Encourages teaching and learning to develop beyond what standardized tests reveal
Provides a low-cost, easy-to-implement program that is realistic, given teachers’ time constraints and limited school budgets
Transforms schools into cultures of collaborative teaching and learning
The 2 + 2 program is much more than a simple equation; it is a powerful tool that can revolutionize a school’s approach to teaching and learning.
Book Description
This practical, hands-on book covers twelve key areas of skill development that enable today's learners to become effective coaches and mentors of tomorrow. It contains useful and serious advice - based on research, theory, and practice - encouraging innovation, improvement, and the type of individual contributions that create an environment of corporate success and continuous learning. Chapter topics include building trust, showing empathy, active listening, using influence tactics, helping others set goals, monitoring performance, giving feedback, encouraging positive actions, discouraging negative actions, training team members, helping others solve problems, helping difficult people, and developing protégés. For team players - especially those in corporate settings - who want to become leaders, supervisors, and mentors.

Customer Reviews:
Fantastic collection of diverse perspectives.......2003-11-28
I've looked through a lot of executive coaching titles at only half the cover price of Goldsmith's volume, but within this ONE I get the essence of wisdom from a score of the best names in the business. This is a great investment to find out which authors you need to explore in more depth.
It's helped me identify the authors that are most consistent with the coaching strategies and styles I am developing. A GREAT place for a beginner to study first!
Comprehensive and simplistic.......2002-11-06
This is a comprehensive guide to leadership coaching. It's a review of many authors' previous work or ideas so it has appeal
for the seasoned coach although I did not find much new material. It is probably better for 'new to the field' coaches who want to know a lot of information in one source. The chapters are short and easy to read. For seasoned coaches it is helpful to pick and choose. I especially liked Nancy Adler's chapter on Coaching Global Executives: Women Succeeding in a World Beyond Here. She ended with a good reason for executives to chose coaching.
What do Executive Coaches Do? This Book Told Me........2000-11-22
I became curious about "Executive Coaching" after reading an article in Forbes Magazine last year. The article showed astounding salaries (some of these coaches make as much money in a day as many of us make in a year) and major companies (General Electric, Sony, Johnson & Johnson, Ernst & Hewlett-Packard) using "executive coaches".
Well this book tells you what these "executive coaches" do and I found it fascinating!
Covers all aspects of coaching leaders, including ethics.......2000-10-12
While attending Linkage's Knowledge Management Conference,I heard Marshall Goldsmith speak about some of the executives he has coached, and was intrigued by his money-back guarantee: if the coworkers of the executive being coached aren't satisfied with results, then Marshall doesn't get paid!
How many consultants can make that offer?
At any rate, Goldsmith has edited (and contributed chapters) to "Coaching for Leadership" along with Laurence Lyons and Alyssa Freas. Coaching high-impact, ambitious, hard-driving executives is not quite the same process as coaching under-performing employees, so this book probably has a smaller audience than say, "Coaching for Dummies". However, executive coaching is all about moving individuals into behaviors that sustain business, and there is lots of useful information for the coaches of non-leaders. There is also a very interesting (and very short) chapter on, "Coaching from Below" by Deepak (Dick) Sethi. Most of us could probably use that information!
A "must have" for all coaches........2000-09-08
This book is a "must have" in the library of all coaches. It reflects the best of the best in leadership coaching today. You can pick it up anywhere and find useful, useable strategies to put to work with your clients right away. Coaching for Leadership is not so much a step-by-step "how to coach" book, more of a `war stories from the trenches." This approach makes the book very readable, practical and indispensable. For either internal or external coaches, there are great coaching examples from change management to career development or coaching for staff development. As an external coach, I found the chapter on Starting Smart especially useful, particularly the author's pointers on contracting. And the chapter on coaching others to accept feedback was as helpful to me personally as it was my clients. This is a book that will quickly become dog -eared, highlighted with protruding colored `stickies' as you mark your favorite paragraphs. Or at least my has.

—Richard A. Gregory, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership, California State University, Northridge

A Great Guidebook for Managers.......2007-01-01
After being coached myself by an executive coach, I was asked to start coaching my direct reports. This book was quite helpful in getting me off to a good start. It was a great roadmap and included things like identifying good development objectives, what kinds of questions to ask, and dozens of tips for carrying on good coaching conversations. If you are relatively new to coaching your people, I'd highly recommend it.

A readable text book.......2006-02-02
This is a must for anyone interested in coaching whatever their discipline. The authors bring together expertise in both psychology and business. The case studies are particularly helpful - taking us behind the closed door of coaching to discover what people are looking for and what they got. Case studies from business showing how they started off using coaching are of particular practical help. The book challenges l coaches to be professional and expand their understanding of the human condition. Definitely a good read for all coaches and for those buying coaching
