Who is a manager? What are the things expected of a manager? The word manager is becoming abused daily, with lots of people claiming to be managers even when they don’t know what it entails to be one. These could damage the esteem and mental health of those under their management. This should be addressed, as well as books like Engage.Coach.Develop. by Artell Smith, which help in correcting those ills in management and producing sound managers.
 
The author started this book by sharing an experience with improving the skills of some managers who have just assumed the role. He wasn’t feeling fulfilled about the training. The author pressed the managers further, where there were few revelations. How would the author start to address these issues? The author introduced the ECD approach, which consists of three elements: engaging, coaching, and developing. This element is in a continuous process and has no end, more like a circular pattern. And the author lets us understand that at the center of this approach is the employee. Let's dive right into this book and read more about this approach from someone with so much experience.
 
This book isn’t so lengthy yet it contains a very powerful message capable of pushing companies, organizations, establishments, etc. forward. Humans are great assets to any organization; it is very vital that they are exposed to proper management, which could develop them, which in turn translates into the growth of the company. With the approach and principles outlined by the author in this book, this can be achieved. The author is one with so much experience, of which he has shared a few of them in the book to help readers understand concepts better. It was written in a very calm tone, and you could attest to the fact that the author is a good manager due to the approach used in writing this book. I love the fact that the book wasn’t voluminous and only focused on the highlighted themes.
 
There were a lot of extra spaces within sentences in this book; it happened in a lot of places within the book. I feel more should be done on the editing of the book. I also noticed one grammatical error. These were the only flaws of this book. Despite the flaws, I would still rate this book five out of five stars due to the quality of information the book contains. This is a suitable book for managers and human resources.

This sounds like a book that is very useful for managers. However, I would consider the shortfalls in editing to be worth reducing a star, as the book is attempting to reach a professional audience, and hence should be professionally edited.
