What’s refreshing about Lance and Eric’s work here is their ability to articulate the value of coaching in specific business terms. Their case studies are vivid and ends-directed. Their examples appropriately respect and honor the role of both the internal and external coaches. What I really like about their message—the internal coaches need to be equally as accountable for producing measurable ROI as the external coaches are.
