Coaching for Commitment: Coaching Skills Inventory (CSI) Self

Coaching for Commitment: Coaching Skills Inventory (CSI): Self, Third Edition The revised and updated Coaching Skills Inventory (Ed. 3) can be used in a number of ways; as a stand alone tool, as part of the Coaching for Commitment Workshop, or as a part of another coaching or leadership course. The CSI: Self is intended for use by anyone who wants to identify (1) a coaching gap compared to an ideal, (2) the role(s) he or she gravitates toward, and (3) proficiency levels in using certain coaching skills during interactions with others. The CSI has a 360-degree feedback component called the CSI: Observer that is used to gain a holistic view of the behaviors and actions a person exhibits. The CSI: Observer also makes a great follow-up assessment for progress checks. The CSI: Self is a 50-item questionnaire that users self-score. The CSI takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete and the associated CSI: Observer takes about 15 minutes. Once completed, the inventory will reveal which of four roles-instructor, mentor, manager, and coach-the participant is most likely to adopt when interacting with others.'It will also show how frequently the skills of challenging, listening, asking, encouraging, and refining-foundational skills for successful coaching-are deployed in a coaching conversation.Kinlaw, Dennis C. is the author of 'Coaching for Commitment: Coaching Skills Inventory (CSI) Self', published 2007 under ISBN 9780787982539 and ISBN 0787982539.
