Customer Reviews

A great, thought- provoking book
This book offers a great insight into the world of coaching. The focus on the personal and how we unconsciously manage others makes it stand-out from the crowd. Graham wants us to look more deeply at the motivations of managers to affect real change and improvement. The links between personal development and organisational performance are well-made.

The structure of the book makes this a very easy book to read. The use of case studies adds weight to the author's views and judicious use of tables and diagrams really helps to get the message across.

Highly recommended!

The only coaching book you'll ever need
Forget about the rest, this is the very best and most insightful book about Leadership Coaching available on the market today. In places controversial but always inspiring, Lee takes his readers on a detailed and fascinating journey into the world of leadership coaching. The models Lee uses are clear throughout, no doubt the result of working with many of the UK's outstanding business leaders combined with a background in psychotherapy. Lee uses excellent case studies to bring the theories he uses alive. I found the book a terrific read, inspiring stuff.
