The Hands Off Manager

The Hands-Off Manager presents a leadership approach built around influence rather than control. Steve Chandler and Duane Black show managers how to take responsibility for their own state, redefine success, use neutrality and intention, ask better questions, create space for insight, avoid judgment, see the whole system, and coach people toward stronger commitments and greater independence. The source-grounded English edition preserves the two-part introduction, Chapters 1-16, SunCor framing, named coaching cases, epilogue, author material, and acknowledgments.
