Publisher's summary

In times of virtual teams and home office, how do you manage people remotely and still get results? The answer: not manage them - coach them for excellence. Use iCoach to boost your impact, power, and freedom.

“Coaching is no longer a service to buy or delegate, but a basic management competence - just like finance or marketing. Every leader or manager must be a competent coach. Dr. Zweifel gives you a systematic toolkit for getting the best out of your people.” (Marshall Goldsmith, Thinkers50 number one leadership thinker in the world)

iCoach is not just a book, but a system refined over 35 years of coaching CEOs and other leaders to meet strategic imperatives. Even if you stay in your current job - and especially if you're the CEO - iCoach gives you access to being a successful coach. iCoach is your road map to real power - by unleashing people.

The problem is, we know how to fly a robot to Mars, yet we know next to nothing about empowering people - igniting their productivity. If working with others is a mystery (or a pain) to you, iCoach® is the solution.

Is your team too dependent on you? Are you caught in micromanagement or saving the day? Is your bench strength insufficient, or team members not entrepreneurial enough? Do you feel sometimes you won’t stem it all?

Dr. Zweifel learned coaching in the 1980s, when the profession barely existed outside of sports. He has poured 35+ years of experience - as a senior manager and CEO, later as a strategy and performance expert and CEO coach - into this path-breaking book. This step-by-step methodology is based on both timeless principles of leadership and the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and behavioral economics.

“Knowing how to breed not followers but authentic, self-directed leaders around you - people with purpose who think for themselves - is of utmost importance. If you lead anything, use this book to lead your teams to sustainable, and meaningful, high performance.” (Dr. Daniel Vasella, former chairman and CEO, Novartis)

Harvard teaches you can manage up to five direct reports. With coaching, you have no such constraint. iCoach® gives you the secret formula for leveraging yourself, maximizing impact, and growing the business when you’re not around.

“A punchy book that strips executive coaching back to the essentials. Here's what to do, and what not to do, to be effective.” (Michael Bungay Stanier, author of WSJ best seller The Coaching Habit)

"This is exactly what I wanted to do for a living. Thomas has been a source of inspiration for a profound professional and life change." (Elsa Regan-Klapisz, executive coach and leadership specialist)

His clients used it to produce, in the aggregate, $9+ billion in added revenues, while boosting innovation and building cultures of co-leadership.
