Coaching Star Performers

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

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!!!!
