Review of Building A Coaching Culture
[Following is a volunteer review of "Building A Coaching Culture" by Andreas Von Der Heydt.]
Workplace growth and development is very important for the consistent competency of the employees, quick adaptation of new employees, and the continued productivity of the organization amid any changes. To achieve this, most organizations invest in training for the workforce, or create workshops and seminars all of which are time consuming. What if there is a way to train the new employees on the job to save on time, while also ensuring their complete integration?
In Building a Coaching Culture by Andreas Von Der Heydt, managers and leaders get the right information to create a workplace or organizational culture that improves integration and adaptability of new employees, and existing employs to change through coaching. The book is written as a research work where the introduction outlines what the problem is and how the research was conducted. The book then discusses the findings of the research guiding managers and leaders on the action steps to take in implementing a coaching culture. The book also contains reference to several literatures and studies supporting the arguments presented from past researches. It, therefore, not only tells the reader what coaching styles are, but how they can be used within an organization to improve operations and processes.
The book mainly focuses on arguments built through research. This gives the readers both theoretical and conceptual or empirical evidence that coaching is useful in building good work cultures within organizations. The book guides, therefore, from a logical and credible point that makes it highly valid and reliable. Additionally, the work is professionally edited as there are no errors within the work. It is proofread and organized in a very easy to understand format. Something that also stands out in the book is its length. It is very short and demonstrates taking into account the busy schedules of organizational leaders and managers.
The book can be confusing for readers without the understanding of how research is used in the creation and development of knowledge. There is specific information within the book that requires professional understanding, and cannot effectively be understood by anyone who owns a business but is not professional enough. For example, when the author mentions that a “purposeful sampling process” or “as part of a qualitative research project,” not every business owner managing employees can understand that without good research background. Therefore, it appears as written for a category of managers and leaders.
I rate this book with 4 out of 4 stars because I believe it is excellently done. It is excellently edited and proofread, and is also excellently written from a credible and logical perspective which projects strong arguments based on evidence and logical reasoning. Additionally, it is highly relevant to the human resource management or any organization managers. Irrespective of the industry, new and existing employees must be guided towards successful transition and adaptation to their new environments.
I would recommend this book to all managers. Even though the human resource management is more responsible for the recruitment, and training or development of the employees, all managers interact with the workforce and have to control or lead them towards completing their tasks. Therefore, all managers can use the book as a guide to coaching the staff they supervisor to realize their goals and objectives in the right way.
