Reviews for Executive Coaching

'At last a truly penetrating and yet practical book on executive coaching. The repertoire is truly eye catching...In fact, if you buy no other book this year - this is the one to invest in.' - Professor Andrew Kakabadse, Deputy Director, Cranfield School of Management 'I personally went through an Executive Development Program in the UK as ... Read morea corporate executive. I know the magic it can produce if conducted by a good coach. The coaching skills mentioned in this book are most relevant and practically based.' - Richard Tam, Founder and Executive Director of Synergy International Group, Hong Kong & China 'Executive coaching has recently received much attention from the popular, business press. Rather than responding to this attention with a superficial, One-Minute Executive Coach, Tony Chapman and his associates have provided seasoned, multi-national executives and executive coaches with an intellectually credible and thoroughly challenging guide to effective executive coaching. Take the time to digest each chapter...' - David Van Valkenburg, Chairman of Balfour Associates Inc. Colorado, USA 'Executive Coaching is a useful contribution to the literature, avoiding at the one extreme, esoteric, highly conceptual, academic management literature and at the other, the 'quick-fix' approach that is characteristic of much that purports to capture the wisdoms of the 'so-called' management gurus.' - Jim Pounder, Director of Business Programmes, Lingnan University, Hong Kong 'Tony Chapman's writing is based upon extensive international experience along with the accounts of the personal journeys of a number of other significant practitioners. The work is cross-cultural and transnational, it illuminates current practice and best practice, and delivers the hands-on pragmatics that dispel some of the glib and easy mantras so favoured by management writers and their readership today.' - Dr. Christopher Dixon, Senior Management Training Consultant at the Bahrain Petroleum Company, Bahrain Refinery, Kingdom of Bahrain 'Peppered with illuminating case studies...the anecdotes on cross-cultural misunderstandings are particularly telling.' - Financial Adviser '...the things that worked especially well...would be the readable, jargon-free, down-to-earth style, the liberal use of pertinent case studies and the personal connection with the reader. I hope there is a sequel. This is a good read, and I know that I both learnt a lot and will seek to improve my coaching skills as a result of the thoughts inspired by the authors.' - Ian Russell, Client relationship director, Barclays Bank, Supply Management '...designed to be a personal, pragmatic and usable introduction and guide to the dark arts of coaching high-performing individuals and teams to even greater heights. I hope there is a sequel. This is a good read.' - Ian Russell, Client relationship director, Barclays Bank, Supply Management '...this book provides a rare global persepctive on coaching. Executive Coaching has terrific potential to be a useful and powerful methodology for individual and organisational change. But we need less hype and far more substance. This book goes some way to providing that substance.' - Anthony Grant, Financial Review Show Less
