"Developing Coaching Skills: A Concise Introduction is Dietmar Sternad's practical guide to the coaching conversation — active listening, powerful questions, constructive feedback, and goal-focused frameworks that help managers draw out performance rather than dictate it. econcise published this softcover in 2021 as part of its short, no-padding series for business readers; it is aimed at managers, team leaders, HR professionals, and students of leadership development. The copy is in Near New condition: the binding is tight and the only sign of handling is light shelf rubbing/dulling, with no writing, markings, or highlighting observed. A compact, immediately usable coaching primer in near-perfect shape — the sort of book that earns its place on a manager's desk. Packed with care.".
