Format:Paperback
Finding good books on coaching can be quite a challenge, but once you find them, you tend to return to them over and over again. For me, this will be one such book: it covers some quite complex coaching and supervision models in a way that is accessible, rather than aimed at showing how much the authors know. Well written and structured, it considers a wide range of topics (perhaps the sub-title "supervision and development" is a slight misnomer as the book is broader than that might indicate (or at least to me!), and avoids the current fad for numerous "lists" of how to do things.
The only encouragement for the authors would be that one of the real nuggets - a chapter on "the deference threshold" is tucked away in an appendix. It deserves to be in a bold chapter, in the centre of the book.
Highly recommended

An excellent book for coaches who wish to improve their practice; coach supervisers and people who buy coaching for themselves or their organisations. Clearly setting out the values, principles and methods which underpin high quality coaching practice, it goes on to describe helpful frameworks to develop, supervise and evaluate coaching performance. All too often, coaching starts and ends in the one to one encounter between client and coach, without reference to the wider context. Hawkins and Smith's 'seven-eyed process' model is a fantastic lens through which to understand the relationships between the coach and the 'coachee', the organisation cultures and indeed the global environment. A 'must-have' for all with an interest in coaching, team coaching and organisation development, which takes coaching, and it's supervision and development, to the next level.

Format:Paperback
This is a book about our profession which has all the right ingredients to help from a practical or philosophical point of view. I read the book from cover to cover, but it's just as useful to pull out the section in which you are interested and use the information.
You can read this book at a few different levels:
As a novice who is seeking a thorough grounding in the main theory underpinning our profession.
As a practitioner who is looking to improve their competence or capability in specific areas.
As an experienced practitioner who is looking to increase their capacity to deliver change in ever more complex and ambiguous environments.
The book has a few dozen approaches and tools, many of which I've used with success on assignments. Several were new to me and I'm looking forward to integrating them into my personal tool bag.
