coaching Systemic team coaching, developments in leadership, and
creating a coaching culture Supervision on supervision and group
supervisionOshry's approach to understanding systemic patterns in
organizational relationships Expanded seven-eyed model "Peter and
Nick's original edition was a fresh and insightful addition to the
literature. The new edition brings the work bang up to date and
remains a must read for the practitioners and students of coaching
and consulting." Professor Jonathan Passmore, University of Evora,
Portugal"The noble art of consulting, coaching and mentoring has
many roots, among which the impressive fearless speech (parrhesia)
of some ancient Athenians and the towering figure of Mentor/Athena
in Homer's Odyssey. This wonderfully lucid and comprehensive guide
shows how fearless compassion is still at the basis of getting the
consulting that matters and the mentoring that can transform a
business." Dr Erik de Haan, Professor of Organisation Development
at the VU University Amsterdam and Director of the Centre for
Coaching, Ashridge Business School"One of the characteristics of a
classic professional book is that it is always a work in progress.
In this latest edition of their overview of coaching, mentoring and
supervision, the authors reflect the substantial changes that have
occurred in terms of applications, professionalization and our
knowledge of the fundamental mechanisms behind these powerful
approaches to learning and change. This will not be the last
edition, I am sure!" Professor David Clutterbuck, European
Mentoring & Coaching Council"I read the first edition of this
book and was impressed with its breadth, depth and width. It was a
veritable Aladdin's Cave of models, frameworks, theories, ideas and
practicalities in the budding fields of coaching, mentoring,
organisational consulting and supervision. It's hard to imagine
that the second edition could broaden, deepen and widen what was
already there: believe me, it does! It moves the 1st Edition from a
book into a compendium. It is better laid out, easier to read and
locates its themes in the contemporary demands of modern
organisational life. This is not a once-read book but a reference
text to be returned to time and time again." Professor Michael
Carroll PhD, Visiting Industrial Professor, University of Bristol,
UK"An informative and passionate guide to coaching, mentoring and
organisational consultancy, essential for beginners and valuable
for experienced practitioners. Even if you do not share the
philosophy or approach of the authors, the book is full of gems
that make you think about your practice, the state of the world and
many other things in between. A must read for coaching
supervisors." Dr Tatiana Bachkirova, Reader in Coaching Psychology,
Oxford Brookes University, UK"I especially like the strong emphasis
on practical ideas, techniques and skills for getting the most out
individuals and teams. It is refreshing to see more emphasis given
to group supervision, as due to the economic climate and shortage
of resources, this will appeal to many managers and supervisors as
it has been discussed and explored in depth." Balbir Kandola, BK
Consultancy in Learning & Development "The book is a treasury
chest for those who want to dig into research and concepts across
leadership development, mentoring, coaching, consultancy and
supervision. I was pleased that they have included contributors
often missing in other handbooks: Argyris, Kolb, Revans, Schein,
and many others ... This is a very solid book, well-structured and
an excellent inspirational text." Paul Olson
