“Whether you are an experienced leader or just starting out, this book is an essential starting point. Here Gary Rohrmayer shows how qualities like adaptability and initiative contribute to the success of any coaching relationship. It’s a book is full of practical tools you can use to maximize what you get out of your coaching experience.” —Robert Logan It is so much easier to work with people who are coachable. They approach everything they do like a student, not a suspicious critic. They have a posture that is open, not guarded – and Gary P. Rohrmayer has seen what a difference that makes as a father, executive leader, and personal coach. Coachability is the ability to take advice. The Bible says, “Listen to advice and accept instruction, that you may gain wisdom in the future” (Proverbs 19:20 ESV). A coachable person accepts feedback with such a high level of emotional awareness that it allows them to grow, mature, and succeed. To be coachable is to be willing to learn from others, from their experiences, their expertise, and their perspectives. In Ten Marks of a Coachable Leader, you’ll discover that coachability is simply a skill that revolves around learning how to take advice well. Learn how to be more coachable, step by step, all while living a life based on biblical principles in this life-changing guide.
