In The Enabling Manager Myles Downey and Ian Harrison provide an antidote to outdated and ineffective management practice.

In The Enabling Manager Myles Downey and Ian Harrison provide an antidote to outdated and ineffective management practice. Today’s leader cannot rely on a “command-and-control” approach.  The book provides a timely model that moves from “command-and-control” to an approach that seeks to “align-and-enable.” A model that delivers development and growth, transparency and connection, work that has meaning and purpose, and finally empowerment. Exactly what people want in the workplace of today.

Myles Downey author of the international bestseller Effective Modern Coaching, and former church minister Ian Harrison come together to create a compelling book that will be a must read for anyone who has responsibility for leading a team. The book opens with a bold message:“Here’s our promise to you: adopt the approach spelt out in this book and your team will hit their goals more often, get it right more often, learn more and enjoy the time they spend at work. And you’ll open doors for your progression, develop yourself and enjoy a more fulfilling life.”

Andrew Curwen, CEO, XLVets, says about this promise: “they keep their part of the bargain by sharing with you deep insight, concisely and clearly expressed. I’m left in no doubt that they are setting you up to deliver.”

The Enabling Manager will be published on 30th June and is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
