About the Book
The person who can leverage the collective genius of a team will never have to worry about job security. Inasmuch as continuous learning is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage in today’s economy, coaching represents a key to career resilience and ongoing employability. This book will teach you how to:
- Increase your value to the organization by becoming a more effective leader and developer of others.
- Tap into the natural interests and energies of your co-workers.
- Help others expand their contributions to the success of your team and organization.
- Release the creative potential of those around you.
- Help others remain employable and excited about their work.
- Build the confidence and self-reliance of others.
- Provide face-to-face feedback that builds confidence and promotes growth.
- Learn from those you seek to coach.
- Help people cope with the demands of constant change.
- Leverage the different perspectives that exist within your team.
- Earn the trust of others and build your influence in the organization.
- Transform your team into a community of learning—one where team members help each other to continually expand their capabilities.
This book reminds us that you do not have to be a supervisor to coach others. In today’s flatter, more horizontal organizations, everyone needs to become a willing and able coach.
Building Communities of Learning is a treasure trove of ideas that leaders can use to implement organizational learning and knowledge management principles at the team and individual level.
