For Further Reading (Ed Batista)

Reading

OVERVIEW

While every coaching relationship is unique, a number of themes come up repeatedly in my practice, and over the years I've written about many of them. After a coaching session I'll often refer a client or student to one of the posts below for further reading.

Because the primary purpose of this page is to help me access specific readings, it's generally alphabetized by title, but it also includes two sub-sections in which readings are grouped by topic area:

Coaching Your Employees
Feedback

I've also created stand-alone compilations of resources on other pages that cover areas I address frequently in my work:

20 Tools for Coaching and Teaching
A Power and Influence Primer
Coaching and Feedback Tools for Leaders
Interpersonal Dynamics (my former Stanford course archive)
Startup Leadership
The Art of Self-Coaching (my current Stanford course archive)

In addition to my own writing, I've included a list of other resources below that I've found particularly valuable, which includes several sub-sections in which readings are grouped by topic area:

Anxiety
Change
Choice and Constraints
Culture
Explanatory Style
Gender
Influence
Innovation
Intuition and Decision-Making
Mortality
Negotiation
OKRs
Psychological Safety
Relationships
Sales Leadership
Scaling Up
Sleep
Storytelling

Finally, while this page focuses primarily on posts and articles, I also maintain a reading list of books that have had an impact on my professional or personal development which is organized by topics such as Communication or Neuroscience & Psychology.

https://hbr.org/2013/01/women-need-to-realize-work-isnt-schol

- People can find the piece above frustrating because it doesn't address sexism and gender bias, and yet when we can't immediately make structural changes I think it offers a useful roadmap to potential action.

Gender and Negotiation

There's an ample body of research that attributes compensation gaps to women's negotiation styles, e.g.:

Women and Negotiation: Narrowing the Gender Gap in Negotiation (Katie Shonk, Harvard Law Program on Negotiation)

https://www.pon.harvard.edu/daily/business-negotiations/women-and-negotiation-narrowing-the-gender-gap/

But there's also research that urges us to view compensation gaps as a by-product of institutional secrecy rather than women's inadequacy as negotiators, e.g.:

Gender Differences in Negotiation and Policy for Improvement (Maria Recalde & Lise Vesterlund, NBER)

https://www.nber.org/papers/w28183
