The Leadership Playbook

Creating a Coaching Culture to Build Winning Business Teams

By: Nathan Jamail

Narrated by: Nathan Jamail

The successful self-published author of The Sales Leaders Playbook writes his first mainstream leadership book

There are enormous differences between managing and coaching. Yet many companies and organizations encourage their leaders to coach teams without ever teaching them how and without creating a culture that supports coaching.

Nathan Jamail—a leading consultant, professional speaker, and the president of his own group of businesses—trains coaches at several Fortune 500 companies and learned that it takes not only different skills to achieve success, but a truly effective coach needs an organizational culture that creates and multiplies the success of every motivated team member. The Leadership Playbook shows leaders the skills necessary to be an effective coach and to build effective teams by:

• Fostering employees’ belief in the culture of a company
• Resolving issues proactively rather than reactively and creating an involvement that constantly pushes employees to be their best
• Focusing on the more humane principles of leadership—gratitude, positivity, and recognition—that keep morale high
• Holding teams and individuals accountable
• Constantly recruiting talent ("building the bench") rather than filling positions only when they are empty

Combining research, interviews, and inspiring stories with the lessons that have earned Jamail the respect of the world’s foremost corporations including CISCO, FedEx, Sprint, the U.S. Army, and State Farm; The Leadership Playbook will dominate the category for years to come.

Great book!

This book introduces a new way of thinking about management and is an easy read. I highly recommend it! Great for those new to management and experts!

Great for new managers!!!

There are a lot of tools that are taught in this book. The author did a great job keeping the reader/listener's attention. I recommend this book for any newly appointed manager.

Well worth the credit

Great listen for all levels of management. Straight forward and recaps after each chapter.
Great hearing the author reading it; similar to going to him speak. Already shared it with 5 others.

things that everyone can learn are in this book

I think this book had a lot of good tips and tricks on how to get better at your job and manage your team. some of it is self-explanatory but it's always good to hear it again.

Good book that reinforces the need for training

I really enjoyed this and am going to make it a focus of ours moving forward.
