When an Agile coach leaves an organization, the changes developed during their tenure should not roll backward. Compliance is somewhat easy to install and takes hold rather quickly. The challenge with that approach is that when the forcing mechanism (Agile coach) is removed, much of the compliance rolls back to the original position. Organizational coaching is a fascinating area to dig into and get amazing results. We would like to see the changes stick, as we do believe that the changes are for the good. However, installed in a command-and-control way (even through supposedly methods of agile coaching) they will wither and die eventually.

Sustainable change requires a different strategy. This book introduces the concept of utilizing an Invitational Approach to Enterprise Agile Coaching which can be a crucial catalyst for integrating sustainable change by putting the client in the seat of responsibility.

This book had me after the first paragraph. The practical examples and simple approach to explaining agile coaching is what makes this book the best book out there for those who want to learn more about coaching an enterprise and raise their skills to the next level. Cherie and crew provide insight from years of experience that any coach can use instantly. This is the book every agile coach needs and should keep by their side. I only wish I had this book years ago.

I have seen many coaches join the agile community over the years but have yet to see a group of authors come together with the breadth and depth of those in this book to use it as an ode to aspiring Enterprise Agile Coaches. It is a testament to practical ways to demonstrate the intersection of coaching competencies and ethics with the Agile value and principles. It is a good reference book for any current or aspiring coach. Every so often, a book stands out in our industry as a go-to for a particular topic. This book has done that for Enterprise Coaching.

If I had this book 5 years ago when I was starting out as an independent Agile Coach, it would have taken a lot of the stress and nervousness away from me… I love the practicality of this book. The focus on coaching in this book is a refreshing shift from other publications I have read. Cherie, Michael, and Alex bring a wealth of experience and expertise in the field of Coaching Enterprise Organizations to this book. This is exactly what is missing on many bookshelves.
