The Five Minute Coach: Improve Performance Rapidly

Designed for leaders, managers and supervisors, in any setting, The Five-Minute Coach is a ground-breaking approach to coaching on the job. It creates significant performance improvements, while improving job satisfaction for manager and team member alike.

It all adds up to a very practical way to improve performance.
