Executive Coaching: Exploding the Myths

Autor T. Chapman, B. Best, P. van Casteren, Kenneth A. Loparo
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2003
The best performing organisations recognise that effective executive coaching is a key factor in developing successful leaders and teams. Having worked directly with more than 40% of the Fortune top 100 global corporations for more than fifteen years, the authors have accumulated a practical insight for delivering enduring executive development. This book steps beyond the notion of a prescriptive formula that can be applied to deliver successful development every time. It presents unabridged accounts reflecting both success and failure from a range of diverse international executive coaching assignments. It will develop your coaching ability and provide an insight into the contemporary personal and organisational challenges that define the context for coaching. This is a truly comprehensive account of executive coaching across the world.

Recenzii

'At last a truly penetrating and yet practical book on executive coaching. The repertoire is truly eye catching...In fact, if you buy no other book this year - this is the one to invest in.' - Professor Andrew Kakabadse, Deputy Director, Cranfield School of Management
'I personally went through an Executive Development Program in the UK as a corporate executive. I know the magic it can produce if conducted by a good coach. The coaching skills mentioned in this book are most relevant and practically based.' - Richard Tam, Founder and Executive Director of Synergy International Group, Hong Kong & China
'Executive coaching has recently received much attention from the popular, business press. Rather than responding to this attention with a superficial, One-Minute Executive Coach, Tony Chapman and his associates have provided seasoned, multi-national executives and executive coaches with an intellectually credible and thoroughly challenging guide to effective executive coaching. Take the time to digest each chapter...' - David Van Valkenburg, Chairman of Balfour Associates Inc. Colorado, USA
'Executive Coaching is a useful contribution to the literature, avoiding at the one extreme, esoteric, highly conceptual, academic management literature and at the other, the 'quick-fix' approach that is characteristic of much that purports to capture the wisdoms of the 'so-called' management gurus.' - Jim Pounder, Director of Business Programmes, Lingnan University, Hong Kong
'Tony Chapman's writing is based upon extensive international experience along with the accounts of the personal journeys of a number of other significant practitioners. The work is cross-cultural and transnational, it illuminates current practice and best practice, and delivers the hands-on pragmatics that dispel some of the glib and easy mantras so favoured by management writers and their readership today.' - Dr. Christopher Dixon, Senior Management Training Consultant at the Bahrain Petroleum Company, Bahrain Refinery, Kingdom of Bahrain
'Peppered with illuminating case studies...the anecdotes on cross-cultural misunderstandings are particularly telling.' - Financial Adviser
'...the things that worked especially well...would be the readable, jargon-free, down-to-earth style, the liberal use of pertinent case studies and the personal connection with the reader. I hope there is a sequel. This is a good read, and I know that I both learnt a lot and will seek to improve my coaching skills as a result of the thoughts inspired by the authors.' - Ian Russell, Client relationship director, Barclays Bank, Supply Management
'...designed to be a personal, pragmatic and usable introduction and guide to the dark arts of coaching high-performing individuals and teams to even greater heights. I hope there is a sequel. This is a good read.' - Ian Russell, Client relationship director, Barclays Bank, Supply Management
'...this book provides a rare global persepctive on coaching. Executive Coaching has terrific potential to be a useful and powerful methodology for individual and organisational change. But we need less hype and far more substance. This book goes some way to providing that substance.' - Anthony Grant, Financial Review
