Guy Templeton, President and CEO, Asia Pacific WSP - Parsons Brinckerhoff This groundbreaking book provides a comprehensive and insightful discourse on strength-based leadership coaching in organizations. This is a tour de force on this important and contemporary subject.
Professor Stephen Palmer, President International Society for Coaching Psychology This is a book that needed to be written. It not only nails down the lid on the coffin of deficit-based leadership development, but provides a pragmatic and practical agenda for moving to a strength-based approach at both individual and corporate level. A must-read for anyone serious about building the capacity of existing and future leaders to manage in a complex and dynamic environment.
Professor David Clutterbuck David Clutterbuck Partnership Strength-Based Leadership Coaching in Organizations provides a rare and timely combination of scholarly critique and pragmatic application on the topic of positive leadership development. The overview and critique of leadership development research, and strength-based approaches in particular, in the first half of the book is impressive in both its breadth and depth. The second half of the book, written for coaching psychologists, leaders and managers, and leaders of work teams, spells out clearly how to apply the concepts and theories introduced previously. The author concludes with well-considered cautionary comments and criticisms of strength-based coaching, illustrating his extensive experience as a researcher and practitioner in this space, and his credibility as the book s author. The book represents a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners who have few similar quality alternatives to consult in terms of combination of evidence-based and applied information.
