Coaching Star Performers: Reframing Negative Drivers and Feelings Using the Courageous Coaching BUILD–RAISE Model

By Chris Edger

Most business coaching books take a generic approach, advancing catch-all models and concepts for all employees. But different employee cohorts have different coaching needs! This book addresses a crucial managerial segment STAR PERFORMERS. Small in number but highly critical to organizational energy, innovation and growth. Highly ambitious, goal orientated and driven they are on the face of it relatively easy to read and understand. However STAR PERFORMERS often hide a dirty little secret! The origins of their success owe more to NEGATIVE rather than POSITIVE DRIVERS. Fear, paranoia, self-doubt and self-loathing are frequently the negative feelings and motivators that cause STAR PERFORMERS to over-index, outperforming their competitive set. In the end these drivers can lead to major issues; burn-out, addiction and/or major conflict with other stakeholders. This book explores how coaches can explore the HIDDEN and BLIND selves of STAR PERFORMERS to REFRAME these NEGATIVE DRIVERS into POSITIVE FORCES; enabling Star Performers to add value on a more sustainable basis! It will be an invaluable coaching guide for ALL managers and coaches who seek to get the best out of this vital organizational resource!!!!
