THE LEADING EDGE OF BUSINESS AND THE FUTURE OF LEADERSHIP COACHING
(excerpted from “Integral Leadership Coaching: A Partner in Sustainability” by Lloyd Raines, published March 2007, Integral Leadership Review.)
Abstract: When we’re invited to be interviewed as a potential coach for a leader, we may hear some specific developmental focal points like: enhance communication skills, cultivate leadership presence, sustain high performance, delegate more, mentor others, improve work-life balance, or enhance relationships and networks. At some point, the leader will want to know what is the coach’s method or philosophy. Each coach responds uniquely, giving his or her approach to serving and partnering with leaders.
