""This is a ‘must read’ book for managers and leaders who would like to embrace the concept of coaching their employees, both individually and in teams, as well as at the organizational level, and develop and improve their requisite coaching skills in the process. Detailed guidance on how to engage in coaching, build and enhance coaching skills, and create a culture of coaching are provided and illustrated with real-world vignettes. Grace McCarthy explores these concepts in a variety of contexts that are traditional face-to-face workplaces and in remote work arrangements which proliferated during the Covid pandemic and in its aftermath. She also considers the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its relevance in supporting managers’ and leaders’ coaching endeavors. This book is well written, and supported with best evidence drawn from credible sources. It is a significant contribution to the ongoing dialogue about managerial and leadership coaching and is a most valuable resource for aspiring coaches, and a most worthwhile practical investment of ‘reading’ time. It will help managers and leaders reap the rewards and benefits from becoming and being effective coaches in their ever-changing world of work."" Andrea D. Ellinger, Professor Emerita, The University of Texas at Tyler, USA ""I can’t think of a better person than Prof. Grace McCarthy, one of the leading international authorities on Managerial Coaching, to write this comprehensive book on a leadership approach every leader and manager needs to aware of. In today’s world a smooth transition between virtual, hybrid and face-to-face managerial coaching is needed and this book gives leaders crucial insights in how to leverage these key managerial skills"" Julia Milner, Professor of Leadership, EDHEC Business School, France ""Once again, Grace McCarthy has produced a book of enormous practical relevance for those with an interest in managerial and workplace coaching. The past 5 years has seen a radical redefinition of the “workplace”, along with an acceleration of social interaction technologies. Whilst both have huge implications for the delivery of coaching, little practical guidance has been available for leaders and managers seeking to maintain a coaching approach in virtual or hybrid environments. As such, Grace has made another valuable contribution to coaching practice!"" Gordon Spence, PhD, University of Sydney, Australia
