Executive Coaching: From Locker Room to Boardroom

"Coaching" has become a popular buzzword in many businesses and professional organizations. Hardly a meeting or conference goes by without some new spin on the concept of coaching. Unfortunately, the lines between coaching, consulting, and counseling are often blurred, and a wide variety of services are offered under the "coaching" umbrella which have little to do with truly effective coaching. Executive coach and counselor Russell Beale presents key principles, models, and philosophies that establish executive coaching as a unique form of business leadership, and teaches the reader how to enhance persona and professional performance through effective coaching relationships. Dr. Beale's approach includes instruction for establishing a meaningful dialogue between coaches and executives, and how to "row as one," the essential tool of executive coaching. Includes ten principles for establishing successful coaching relationships. Twelve exercises for developing the necessary skills for achieving personal mastery and enhancing peak performance.
