“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 #1 Leadership Thinker in the World)

This step-by-step methodology is based on both timeless principles of leadership and the latest discoveries in neuroscience, psycholinguistics, and behavioral economics.
