About
The Book
The high rate of corporate change and the expectation of short
term performance puts those who lead organisations under considerable
pressure to produce results.
But producing sustained results cannot be achieved by simply
driving the bottom line. It requires that those who work for
a company at any level be focused and motivated. This requires
leadership of a high order. Professional coaching can uniquely
help the individual at the top to develop this.
This book describes the current state of evolution of external
coaching, assesses the future demand for coaching as a consultancy
service to senior executives and the ways in which that demand
may be met.
Finally, it offers a model of top executive professional coaching
against which buyers may benchmark the services offered them.
Leadership is currently one of the most hotly discussed topics
in business. This is the first book to not only identify the
characteristics of successful leadership but to show how these
qualities can be developed.
The Reflecting Glass surveys the field of executive coaching,
including:
- its origins
- the theoretical framework underpinning it
- the forms it can take
- the value it adds
Based on the experience of two leading practitioners, and with
contributions from other key players, it provides a detailed
methodology for working one-to-one with people at the top of
organisations in order to help them become fully effective.
Executive coaching has experienced exponential growth over the
last five years, but as yet there has been little critical appraisal
of the activity. This book provides that critique.
By describing and benchmarking good practice, The Reflecting
Glass will be a valuable tool for those in leadership positions
considering executive coaching for themselves, as well as the
HR professional.
