“Coaching for Innovation is not just for managers with ‘innovation’ in their job titles, or companies at the cutting-edge of new technologies. It is for all managers of people where optimal engagement is demanded and it is a powerful tool for the management of teams. This excellent book demystifies coaching, and shows you simply and effectively how to adopt the coaching mind-set and how to deploy a coaching-based strategy in your team to drive innovation.” – Tim Starr, Vice-President, Operations, Symetis S.A. “This book brings together for the first time innovation models driven by coaching that really open up the creativity of teams and individuals. Coaching for Innovation leverages coaching and comes with an instruction manual that is easy to understand and empowering in its application. This is an indispensable toolkit for leaders and all who truly want to invest in themselves to make a difference.” – Ben Wallace, Head of Global Marketing Excellence, Bayer CropScience “Bianchi and Steele have created a practical handbook that will immediately enable individuals to contribute innovatively as well as coaching their team to do the same. An accessible and thought-provoking read that has application beyond innovation – it’s a toolbox that will support culture change. Coaching for Innovation is highly relevant and topical for any business looking to improve, amongst other things, performance, profit, employee engagement and leveraging an increasingly diverse workforce.” – Sarah-Jane Mills, Senior Counsel UK & Ireland, PPG Architectural Coatings UK Limited and Leader of PPG’s EMEA Women Leadership Council “Coaching for Innovation is a great book filled with practical tips and suggestions. The book can be used both as a quick reference guide around coaching and team dynamics, but also as an in-depth self-learning guide to take your coaching skills to a whole new level. The many examples of powerful questions are useful in any environment.” – Arnold Dikkers, Reward lead EMEA, DuPont “Bianchi and Steele have created an important resource for research leaders and those interested in developing a detailed understanding of the powerful role coaching can have in building ideas and driving innovation.
