A "must have" for all coaches.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is a "must have" in the library of all coaches. It reflects the best of the best in leadership coaching today. You can pick it up anywhere and find useful, useable strategies to put to work with your clients right away. Coaching for Leadership is not so much a step-by-step "how to coach" book, more of a `war stories from the trenches." This approach makes the book very readable, practical and indispensable. For either internal or external coaches, there are great coaching examples from change management to career development or coaching for staff development. As an external coach, I found the chapter on Starting Smart especially useful, particularly the author's pointers on contracting. And the chapter on coaching others to accept feedback was as helpful to me personally as it was my clients. This is a book that will quickly become dog -eared, highlighted with protruding colored `stickies' as you mark your favorite paragraphs. Or at least my has.
Graduate student - I/O Ph.D. program

As a graduate student of Industrial / Organizational Psychology with an interest in Executive Caoching, I am pleased to find a book that defines so well the tools needed for success as a coach, as well as providing an informed and thoughtful understanding of my future "Career." I found it not only informational, but presented in a fashion whereby anyone, even a lay person, could access the information, and utilize the resources therein.
Best of the best
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I found the contributors to "Coaching For Leadership" to be among the best writers and thinkers in today's world of organizational and leadership development. While an easy and quick read it is not short on insight. The manner in which these authors (and long time coaches) come together to form a coherent whole yet allow their own individual styles to show through makes the reading that much more enjoyable and the book that much more beneficial. If only this book had been available when I became a CEO.
