Customer Reviews

A great resource for leadership development

Nigro has provided an important resource for developing professionals from upper level executives to line supervisors. Written in an easy to grasp (and therefore implementable) style, I find that the professionals I develop appreciate his direct and common sense approach for bringing out the best in a workforce.

Get This One!

I have been required to read 3 books on mentoring for one of my classes and then was required to review and report on another. I examined 5 additional books on mentoring and coaching and this was by far the most complete and readable - in fact, it was the only one that was enjoyable. Mr. Nigro's sense of humor is only outdone by his understanding of how humans operate and his ability to easily explain what so many other authors must fall asleep writing about - how managers can effectively coach and mentor their staff. I highly recommend The Everything Coaching and Mentoring Book.

Thorough, Entertaining, and Enlightening

This is a great book on Coaching and Mentoring. It covers a lot of ground on what it takes to manage as a coach in today's corporate milieu. The author displays a keen grasp of the material, along with a good sense of humor, from cover to cover. The examples and case studies in the text always hit their marks. I recommend this book for all coaches and mentors, and all would-be coaches and mentors, too. It's a very thorough introduction to the managing wave of the future. And it's written in a style that is never dull, which is the bane of so many other books on this subject matter.
