Coaching Star Performers [EPUB ebook] 
Reframing Negative Drivers and Feelings

Most business coaching books take a generic approach, advancing catch-all models and concepts for all employees. But different employee cohorts have different coaching needs! This book addresses a crucial managerial segment, namely; Star Performers – small in number but highly critical to organizational energy, innovation and growth! Highly ambitious, goal orientated and driven they are – on the face of it – relatively easy to read and understand. However Star Performers often hide a dirty little secret! The origins of their success owe more to negative rather than positive drivers. They are (inwardly at least) less resilient than they (outwardly) seem! Fear, paranoia, self-doubt and self-loathing are frequently the negative feelings and motivators that cause Star Performers to over-index, outperforming their competitive set. However – in the end – these drivers can lead to major issues; burn-out, addiction and/or major conflict with other stakeholders. This book explores how coaches can explore the ‘hidden and blind selves’ of Star Performers to reframe these negative drivers into positive forces; enabling Star Performers to add value on a more sustainable basis!
