Book description
Written as a business fable, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest is the story of a gifted executive coach, J. C. Williams, and his coaching relationships with his varied business clients-all with their own professional challenges. The book offers engaging stories, has believable characters with realistic problems, and illustrates the structure and content of the coaching process. The book is a quick read-something any busy executive could read on a flight between Washington, DC and Boston-and is time very well spent, not only for the individual executive but for her or his company's future. Although executive coaching has become increasingly popular with organizations across the globe because of its effectiveness, many people don't know what it looks like until they actually commit to the process. The confidentiality involved in coaching between coach and client is somewhat responsible for the mysteriousness of the process. That's why Dr. Steve Gladis has written The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest to help leaders better see and understand how executive coaching works.
