Advanced Leader Coaching - Edger, Chris

. .

Résumé :
Described by Professor Jonathan Passmore - Director of the highly regarded Henley Business School Centre for Coaching - as 'a fabulous book written by two highly experienced coaches (providing) a wealth of details to support the Executive Coach and individual leaders', 'Advanced Leader Coaching' is the must have reference book and guide for all Executive and Leadership coaches. Written by Professor Chris Edger (a shortlisted author of multiple books on leadership and coaching) and Dr Nollaig Heffernan (inventor of the ILM 72 leadership style psychometric test and member of the Centre for Neuroscience, UK) 'Advanced Leader Coaching' provides leading-edge insights into the way in which professional or workplace-based coaches can optimize Executive and Leadership performance. Practical and easy to use, it provides coaches with an overarching 'Advanced Leader Coaching Model', focused upon accelerating three key leadership factors; personal, interpersonal and business growth. Within these three factors various critical subcomponents are explored; personal (self-awareness, mental toughness, capacity, style and transitioning), interpersonal (customer, employee, team and stakeholder) and business (strategy, operations, change and innovation). Backed up with contemporary concepts, models, questions and case studies that coaches can use to raise Executive and Leadership performance, this book should provide real stimulus and confidence to coaching practitioners who work within this challenging domain. Tried and tested by the authors on hundreds of Executives and Leaders over the past decade, the approaches, techniques and methods outlined in 'Advanced Leader Coaching' provide a proven methodology and set of practical tools for any coach engaged with the task of accelerating Executive or Leadership performance!
