Effective leadership coaching can drastically improve performance.
However, good coaching is more than just passing on your own business
experience. Developing authentic leadership through coaching is about
changing deeply personal, often unconscious, elements of a manager's
behaviour. In Leadership Coaching, Graham Lee explains to coaches
how to be more sophisticated in their understanding of psychology and
how to develop the skills needed to work on both the psychological and
the practical elements of improving managerial performance.
Leadership Coaching sets out a five-stage coaching model, and
works through each of these stages in detail, highlighting the skills
that coaches require and the issues they are likely to face. It also
offers HR managers sponsoring coaching an understanding of the
competencies necessary for effective coaching and provides a standard
procedure for buying in coaching services. Supported by a wide range of
case studies throughout the book, this is valuable reading for both
in-house and external coaches looking to effectively develop leaders and
managers in organizations.
