The Mindful Coach
Autor Doug Silsbeeen Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 feb 2010
Într-un peisaj organizațional marcat de volatilitate și presiune constantă pentru rezultate imediate, capacitatea unui lider de a extrage ce este mai bun din echipa sa devine principalul avantaj competitiv. Observăm că succesul în afaceri nu mai depinde doar de competențe tehnice, ci de prezența conștientă și de calitatea interacțiunilor umane. Suntem de părere că The Mindful Coach propune o schimbare de paradigmă necesară: trecerea de la modelul de control la cel de facilitare a învățării. Spre deosebire de The Coaches' Handbook, care oferă o privire de ansamblu bazată pe dovezi pentru acreditări profesionale, volumul lui Doug Silsbee se concentrează pe starea de „a fi” a coach-ului. Complementar lui The Coach's Mind Manual, care explorează fundamentele neuroștiințifice, The Mindful Coach oferă un cadru de acțiune mult mai aplicat, centrat pe cele șapte voci ale coach-ului. Această structură permite cititorului să navigheze între roluri diferite — de la observator la model de creștere — asigurând o prezență adaptată nevoilor specifice ale interlocutorului. Cartea este organizată riguros, pornind de la definirea serviciului conștient (mindful service) și cultivarea auto-observării, culminând cu exerciții practice și studii de caz care transformă teoria în abilități tangibile. Această abordare continuă temele din Presence-Based Leadership, unde Doug Silsbee argumenta că provocările complexe sunt, de fapt, oportunități de evoluție. În acest volum, autorul rafinează aceste concepte într-o metodologie clară, demonstrând că mindfulness-ul nu este o practică izolată, ci un instrument esențial de management și leadership.
