“Neither leaders nor coaches are born. They’re made. That’s the good news. The bad news is that many organizations don’t know how to do that. Until today. Until this book, which is a true gem, was published. Andreas von der Heydt explains in a relatable and simple manner the prerequisites of successful organizational coaching, how to implement it in 5 phases, and how to tackle and mitigate associated risks.”

Holger SeimFounder Blinkist & Chief Product Officer, Go1

“As a CEO myself who follows and lives a coaching approach to recruit and retain exceptional talent, I can clearly state that this book is a must-read for leaders and organizational development practitioners who aim for excellence. It describes how coaching is a performance activity that impacts leaders, teams, and culture holistically in order to grow and sustain constant change.”

Dr. Ulrike HandelBoard of Directors, Hubert Burda

It not only presents a structured approach for the concept of "Manager as a Coach" but also introduces a convincing body of empirical evidence that this coaching proposal is in much demand in today's organizations. I recommend this book to any leader.”
