Executive coaching for results : the definitive guide to developing organizational leaders

Brian O. Underhill, Kimcee McAnally, John J. Koriath; foreword by Marshall Goldsmith; afterword by Richard Leider

The field of executive coaching is growing at an astonishing rate. Corporations are increasingly turning to coaching as an intervention, as it offers leaders and managers both on-the-job learning and built-in follow-up. Human resource and leadership development practitioners must wade through a wilderness of conflicting information about when to use coaching, how to do it well, and how to evaluate the cost-effectiveness and success of any coaching intervention.Executive Coaching for Results helps this critical leadership development technique come of age. This is not a how-to-coach book?there
