He works with leaders and teams to embrace what he calls collegial coaching which he wants to become the primary method of communication to enhance individual and team performance. The premise of Tom's books The Art of Coaching and The Rise of the Coachable Leader is that a performance-based feedback-rich culture and coaching culture more effectively supports an organizational strategy and leads to sustainable levels of performance.
