This was a great read that was thought provoking for me. I am looking at entering the coaching field and this provided a lot of insight into the influence, opportunities and challenges that can bring. Cort is now one of my heroes with his All-In Leadership!

A really enjoyable memoir about leader coaching which made me think about what I need to do to improve myself and my management style in the workplace. The book is filled with stories of leadership challenges and how with coaching improvements can be made and behaviours changed both in the leader and those below them. I will be honest and say I was disappointed in how much assistance some of these leaders appeared to need to do their jobs, I actually wondered why companies didn't hire somebody like Cort to do the job instead of them. Saying that I see the benefit of having a coach like Cort who will be honest with you and guide you to take the correct actions to resolve the issues being faced and improve leadership skills. You need somebody that will be honest with you as not everybody you work with will. The book also shows that not everybody is willing to change the way they lead or are in denial as to the reasons for their issues. Cort is open and honest in discussing where he has not been able to assist companies and leaders due to their inability to change.
