Book description

Based on the best-selling Coaching for Leadership (which contains an invaluable and timeless collection of thoughts and theory from some of the world's best thinkers) this workbook is filled with illustrative case studies, examples, exercises, and activities. It addresses matrix effects (what role the organization's structure influenced the outcome), personal dynamics (the psychology and logic about how the story evolved) and additional questions for coaching practice and questions for leaders. The workbook contains its own unique material related to Organizational Behavior, Organizational Development, Organizational Complexity and Change; Leadership; Coaching; and Consulting Skills.
