With the first edition of this text, Peltier drew on his extensive experience in both the clinical and business worlds to create a comprehensive resource that brought psychological and coaching concepts together. It quickly became a practical and invaluable guide for both mental health practitioners looking to expand their practice into coaching and business professionals interested in improving their own coaching skills.
In this updated edition, topics reflect the latest developments in the field of executive coaching. Peltier describes several important psychological theories and how to effectively translate them into coaching strategies; essential business lessons in leadership, marketing, and the corporate viewpoint along with vocabulary for the therapist; the challenges women face as managers and executives and effective coaching methods for working with them; and lessons from successful athletic coaches that can be integrated into consulting skills. This edition includes four new chapters, one describing psychopathology likely to be encountered by coaches. Another describes and evaluates emotional intelligence, a third summarizes adult developmental theory for coaches, and a fourth sorts out the popular and scientific literature on leadership and leader development.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
This is a rich, comprehensive book for executives as well as their coaches. I strongly recommend this text for any executive interested in understanding and enhancing innovation in a good or bad economy. - William H. Roedy, Chairman and Chief Executive, MTV Networks International
This new edition provides the conceptual basis for effective coaching and consulting. The first edition became a classic. This one is even better, with four new chapters, plus outcome data from recent research on the effectiveness of coaching methods as perceived by executives and managers. A must read. - Wilbert (Skeeter) McClure, PhD, Organizational Consultant; Olympic Gold Medalist, Boxing, Rome (1960)
For those responsible for coaching industry executives, this is a valuable work that provides not only insight into the leader, but practical wisdom when guiding that leader. - Thomas W. Rabaut, Retired President and CEO, United Defense Industries, Inc.
