Bishop (vice president of product development at The Center for Leadership Studies) and Goldsmith (an executive coach and prolific leadership author) here combined their experience to provide a guide to individualized leadership coaching that focuses on adaptability. The authors themselves adapt the well-known Situational Leadership Model into a Situational Coaching Model. In Part 1, they explain how this particular style of coaching differs from other types while observing that, “Regardless of the specialty, the goal of a coach is the same: to influence another person’s behavior and performance for the better.” In Part 2, Bishop and Goldsmith outline the four steps of the Situational Coaching Model (identify, assess, match, and manage) while emphasizing the idea that by focusing on individual goals and issues, coaches can more efficiently help their clients achieve success. In the final part, the authors discuss the ways in which their coaching model allows coaches to pivot in their approaches to fit the unique needs of those they coach. Interviews with and advice from other successful coaches (think CEOs of leadership companies, advisers, and executive leadership experts) are incorporated throughout the text. Bullet-pointed summaries conclude each chapter to condense the relevant information into concise, digestible chunks; the chapters are frequently broken up with headings, subheadings, and various motivational and explanatory quotes to maximize the book’s readability. The frequent use of coaching terminology and leadership buzzwords (“That grounding function helps the coachee show up with intention inside the system”) may intimidate readers with little previous knowledge of the topic, but for those who have at least some broad familiarity with coaching, the authors’ straightforward language and engaging visuals expertly break down potentially complicated concepts. The result is an energetic and articulate step-by-step playbook detailing the ins and outs of a unique coaching model.
