Ready, Set, Ripen! a Leader's Guide to Preparing People for Development (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781732773806)

"Ready, Set, Ripen! A Leader's Guide to Preparing People for Development" is a business parable that explores the mindsets coaches and managers must cultivate in order to promote growth, change, and development in those they work with. This book provides a practical, easy-to-apply approach to enabling people to be ready for behavioral change, so that coaches and managers find it easier to successfully coach others. In our experience as executive coaches and leadership development professionals, we have found that many managers believe that some of the people they attempt to coach are relatively incapable of making significant changes to their performance or are "difficult to coach." As a result, they deemphasize their investment in coaching and developing others, or approach their coaching work with faulty mindsets that work against the very goals they have for helping others grow and improve. The real issue is not that people can't make meaningful changes in their behavior, but that managers often lack the right mindsets and skills to maximize their coaching impact with others. Coaching is a learnable skill, but some powerful and pervasive misconceptions need to be put out to pasture if you are to improve your coaching effectiveness. "Ready, Set, Ripen!" is a great resource for anyone who is looking to help others make behavioral changes to improve their performance, including: managers who are looking to develop their team members, executive coaches looking to enhance their impact with clients, individuals who are looking to make meaningful performance improvements, and learning and organizational development professionals responsible for developing talent in their organizations.
