Product Description

Product Description
This text seeks to identify the characteristics of successful leadership and shows how these qualities can be developed. "The Reflecting Glass" surveys the field of executive coaching, including its origins, the theoretical framework underpinning it, the forms it can take and the value it adds. The book provides a detailed methodology for working one-to-one with people at the top of organizations in order to help them become fully effective. Executive coaching has experienced exponential growth in the late 1990s but with little critical appraisal of the activity. By describing and benchmarking good practice, "The Reflecting Glass" should be of interest to those in leadership positions considering executive coaching for themselves, as well as the HR professional.

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for all coaches, 4 Dec 2001
By MARION BATES (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Coaching books are coming thick and fast but this is clearly one of the best. It maps the terrain of coaching from skills and performance to development coaching - the authors' area of expertise. A model is presented with sections on skills, training, contracting,process, ethics, and illustrated with case studies.
Organisational and personal impact will be maximised through the development coaching of leading executives particularly when delivered alongside change consulting initiatives - too often these fail because top executives do not themselves change attitude and style.
This book is essential reading for all coaches, HR professionals and senior executives. I hope it will result in a much more critical eye being cast on the whole field of coaching and those who call themselves coaches.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent book on the subject of development coaching, 23 Nov 2001
By A Customer
There are plenty of books that purport to tell the reader how to coach, how to be a good coach or how to use a particular style of coaching. The Reflecting Glass is different from most of them, in that it looks at coaching as a subject and a process. It concentrates on development coaching and succeeds in making all aspects of the topic very clear and easy to understand, whilst highlighting critical issues.
As a coach, I find this book extremely useful. I believe its unbiased study of the subject from all angles, including that of the sponsor, the client and the coach, make it compulsory reading for all H.R. executives with responsibility for senior management development (and useful reading for most senior executives).

5.0 out of 5 stars A first rate book on development coaching, 30 Nov 2001
An excellent book. The aims of development coaching at a senior level are clearly set out, the principles and practice well illustrated. It includes working with the psychological dimensions involved, giving them their proper place and importance and is essential reading for those who wish to improve their understanding and skills.
