Revised, updated, and expanded: the definitive guide to transformational leadership from a team of expert executive coaches. Over the past six years, Michael K. Simpson's Unlocking Potential has helped leaders motivate, inspire, and fully engage their teams. This revised edition, written with Maria Sullivan and Kari Saddler, builds on that powerful foundation for a new generation of leaders. The key is not just managing but coaching-developing the talents of your organization's most important asset: the employees. In any successful organization, that begins with the basic skills developed by Simpson: building trust, recognizing potential, challenging paradigms, clarifying individual personal goals, executing flawlessly, giving effective feedback, and tapping into talent. Now Simpson expands on his knowledge and experience as a senior consultant with the management assessment firm FranklinCovey. This revised and updated edition also features insights from Sullivan and Saddler and additional real-life lessons learned in the field by managers who have put Simpson's invaluable coaching skills into play. Transform your business relationships (and your business) with this comprehensive tool for optimizing productivity, profitability, loyalty, and customer focus.
