Coaching using 180° and 360° Instruments

Bob Bookman is certified by the Center for Creative Leadership to use both their 360° BenchMarks and SkillScope Instruments. In addition, Mr. Bookman has developed his own 180° and 360° Instrument titled InsightMirror 360 with special areas for written comments.

Mr. Bookman has developed a Success Based Coaching Process™, which has three key components working in concert:

1. Future-Design focuses on what is good in leadership styles from the past, and how managers and leaders can use those attributes to form a leadership style that will meet both present and future organizational needs. Future-Design seeks out the very best of "what is" in terms of a leader's values, beliefs, and behaviors to help ignite "what might be."
2. Skill-Based Learning focuses on those management and leadership behaviors needed to achieve optimum personal and team productivity.
3. Straight talk: People have a hunger for genuine feedback, not sugar coated "nice-talk." Bob Bookman learned well from his own mentors, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it."
