Having led change successfully at three sprawling, monumental organizations—the CIA, Texas A&M University, and the Department of Defense—Robert M. Gates offers the ultimate insider’s look at how leaders can transform large organizations and companies. For many Americans, bureaucracy and corporate structure are code words for inertia. Gates knows that it doesn’t have to be that way. With stunning clarity, he shares how simple plans, faithfully executed, can cut through the mire of bureaucracy to reform organizational culture. And he shows that great leaders listen and respond to their teams and embrace the power of compromise. Using the full weight of his wisdom, candor, and devotion to duty, he empowers leaders at any level to effectively implement his leadership strategies.
The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever
Coaching is an essential skill for leaders. But for most busy, overworked managers, coaching employees is done badly, or not at all. They’re just too busy, and it’s too hard to change.
But what if managers could coach their people in 10 minutes or less?
In Michael Bungay Stanier’s The Coaching Habit, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day so managers and their teams can work less hard and have more impact.
Coaching is an art and it’s far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide an answer, or unleash a solution. Giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. It can also mean unlearning our ”fix it” habits. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And, he guides us through the tricky part – how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice.
-Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly
Drawing on years of experience training more than 10,000 busy managers from around the globe in practical, everyday coaching skills, Bungay Stanier reveals how to unlock your peoples’ potential. He unpacks seven essential coaching questions to demonstrate how—by saying less and asking more—you can develop coaching methods that produce great results.
– Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question
– Stay on track during any interaction with The AWE Question
– Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question, and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question
– Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question
– Finally, ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question
A fresh, innovative take on the traditional how-to manual, the book combines insider information with research based in neuroscience and behavioural economics, together with interactive training tools to turn practical advice into practiced habits. Dynamic question-and-answer sections help identify old habits and kick-start new behaviour, making sure you get the most out of all seven chapters. Witty and conversational, The Coaching Habit takes your work—and your workplace—from good to great.
Developing a Successful Mindset: How to Change Your Mindset for Personal Growth and Success
Successful People Have Special Mindsets
What distinguishes success-oriented people and those who live while simply trying to avoid failures? The answer to this question is pretty simple. The first group operates a progressive system of beliefs about themselves and their role in the world. The second group, on the contrary, has a rigid set of attitudes and beliefs. In any case, it is the type of mindset that matters. It is the pillar on which the potential of change and success stands. Those people who belong to the prosperous category have the growth mindset, and the rest possess the fixed mindset.
It is very important to understand that people are not born with traits and abilities, but develop them throughout their whole lives. The same goes with the mindset, which is, simply speaking, a belief about personal characteristics and talents. We learn, change, and improve – this helps us grow personally, professionally, and socially. We can modify our lifestyle and adapt to the challenges of the environment in which we live.
Every person needs to work on development of his or her mindset, as this will help him or her to become flexible and auspicious. Switching from the fixed mindset to the mindset of growth is an advance towards the path of progress and high achievements. Colby Mullen will reveal the procedures and tips on how to develop a successful mindset.
