Coaching is vital to developing talent in organizations, and it is an essential capability of effective leaders. The CCL Handbook of Coaching
is based on a philosophy of leadership development that the Center for
Creative Leadership has honed over thirty years with rigorous research
and with long, rich experience in the practice of leadership coaching.
The book uses a coaching framework to give a compass to leaders who are
called to coach as a means of building sustainability and boosting
performance in their organizations. The book explores the special
considerations that leader coaches need to account for when coaching
across differences and in special circumstances, describes advanced
coaching techniques, and examines the systemic issues that arise when
coaching moves from a one-to-one relationship to a developmental culture
that embraces entire organizations.
