As a coach, you may be working with a client that is involved with talent retention. Bottom line, if your client has any level of management responsibility in a company they are part of the talent retention issue. How much the coaching client understands about the issue varies and as a coach your understanding of possibilities prepares you to serve as a sounding board and as a reality check.<\/p>\n
A different possibility is that you are coaching a client who is making a career move. When the client is researching different companies, knowing about their talent retention provides excellent perspective. As a coach, this book affords you the opportunity to formulate questions so that your client prioritizes how they approach different opportunities.<\/p>\n
The Bad:<\/p>\n

\n* The book does refer to coaching and includes a case study of a pilot program offering coaching to new hires.<\/p>\n
