Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The best published book about coaching
The book is the best published book about coaching that I read. It is proper to several interests such as company leaders, consultants, academic faculty members and all those who wants to construct a better life and be recognized as a better person.It expands the concepts of the first edition and add value to the coaching literature.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A first primer for executive coaching
Perhaps these are the world's greatest executive coaches, but I struggle with the suspicion that they are, more precisely, friends and associates of the editors. All but one or two of the contributors are Americans, so that I'm reminded of John Cleese's comment, when asked to compare Britons and Americans, that "when we Brits have a World Championship, we invite teams from other countries." Perhaps there are no excellent executive coaches from outside the United States. More likely, "world's greatest" was the publisher's idea.

But marketing hyperbole aside, this is a nice volume on an important and potentially lucrative topic. Executive coaching is definitely hot in the corporate world; a recent Harvard Business Review article (Sherman & Freas, 2004) puts estimated annual spending on executive coaching in the U.S. alone at $1 billion.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Powerful tool
As it states in the foreword by Beverly L. Kaye this book "is the collective thinking of the very best thought leaders in executive coaching". Beverly is absolutely right. If your in the business as an executive coach you will find the tools of the trade in this book. Marshall Goldsmith is one of the editors of this book, so you know you won't get disappointed. Seasoned coaches will be able to learn about subjects like E-coaching, coaching and culture and situational leadership to name a few. But also the novices in executive coaching will learn a lot from the experts. Not only about being a top coach but also tips and tricks on how to set up a thriving practice. The book also addresses the transition from line manager to executive coach which I haven't read before. I can highly recommend this book to both seasoned and fresh executives coaches and those who are thinking about becoming one. Good reading!


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - practical, insightful, informative
Coaching for Leadership is a valuable collection of essays from some of the most experienced management educators. The book provides research, methods and application stories from different perspectives on leadership coaching, development and effectiveness. The book has depth and is very useful.
