This is the first serious, rigorous book about coaching which is deeply rooted in a long and varied therapeutical tradition and at the same time translates insights from that tradition into clear and crisp models for practical application in modern coaching practice. The book refers to well-known coaching approaches in business and devotes more attention than usual to internal coaching practices. It is a distinct, rigorous yet accessible guide to coaching approaches and practice.
This book reviews the full coaching outcome research literature to examine the arguments and evidence behind the use of executive coaching. Erik de Haan presents the definitive guide to what works in coaching and what changes coaching brings about, both for individual coaches and for organisations and commissioners. Accessibly written and based on contemporary quantitative research into coaching effectiveness, this book considers whether we know that coaching works, and, if so, whom it works for, and what it offers to those involved. What Works in Executive Coaching considers the entire body of academic literature on quantitative research in executive and workplace coaching, assessing the significant results and explaining how to apply them. Each chapter contains direct applications to coaching practice and clearly evaluates the evidence, defining what really works in executive coaching. Alongside its companion volume Critical Moments in Executive Coaching, this book is an essential guide to evidence-based effectiveness in coaching. It will be a key text for all coaching practitioners, including those in training.
Focusing on the supervisory relationship, this book guides supervisors in maximizing the benefits of supervision. It emphasizes the rewarding and developmental nature of these relationships, drawing on both experience and research to highlight the profound journey of effective supervision. Supervisors will learn how to cultivate these connections for substantial personal and professional growth.
Many if not most teams in the modern workplace fall well short of harnessing their collective capability, maintains Erik de Haan, resulting in loss of performance and poor results. For the author of the Team Coaching Pocketbook and director of the Ashridge Centre for Coaching, this is a depressing thought yet he's quick to point out that poor performance is readily managed if team members are minded to reflect intelligently on how they operate and have the skills to do so. "This is where team coaching can be beneficial", says de Haan. "It helps teams think through what they are doing and why, how they can integrate individual skill sets and how they can innovate." Written by an expert in his field, this is a practical, insightful guide to team coaching which will benefit both coaching specialists and team leaders.
