Coaching for emotional intelligence : the secret to developing the star potential in your employees
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 211-213) and index.

For managers, coaching for performance and for emotional intelligence (EI) are two different things. But that doesn't mean they exist in different worlds. Performance is just one part of an employee's overall development as a professional and as a leader -- development which depends on the employee's emotional intelligence and the ability of the manager to encourage and increase it. This book provides a carefully planned strategy to help managers address such factors as personality traits, communications styles, and personal behaviors -- the delicate issues that make coaching for EI more challenging than coaching for performance alone. It will help readers feel confident and comfortable with sensitive, often personal issues that arise in managing and developing subordinates, and will accelerate the development of high-potential employees and future leaders. Logical, applicable, and realistic, the book makes this often elusive subject simple to grasp -- and easy to nurture in any workplace.
