Books Coach for Results: Empower your people to achieve the extraordinary  by Dave Stitt (Author), Rod Sweet (Editor), Gary Nightingale (Illustrator)

"Coach for Results: Empower Your People to Achieve the Extraordinary" by Dave Stitt is a practical guide for managers and leaders aiming to adopt a coaching leadership style that unlocks potential and drives high performance in teams. Drawing from over two decades coaching executive teams, mainly in the construction industry, Stitt presents simple, actionable coaching techniques managers can apply immediately to transition from controlling to empowering leadership.

The book emphasizes seeing team members as treasures to be discovered rather than problems to fix. Through coaching conversations centered on questions and listening rather than directives, leaders enable people to think independently, build confidence, and take ownership of their work. This approach nurtures higher engagement, skill development, and job satisfaction.

Key lessons include understanding how to prepare and conduct coaching conversations, fostering a respectful culture grounded in courtesy and esteem, and generating excitement and commitment toward big goals. Practical frameworks and real-world examples demonstrate how coaching leadership can transform team dynamics and project outcomes sustainably.
