This book deals with how coaching interventions can drive a journey of transformational change at individual, team, and organizational levels. As a result, coaching interventions serve to create more reflective people, who in turn, create better organizations. The group coaching methodology, used by the INSEAD Global Leadership Center (IGLC) and adopted by the Center for Leadership Development Research (CLDR) at the European School of Technology and Management (ESMT), Berlin, is the basis for developing the theoretical assumptions behind the chapters. Through sharing research methodologies, and describing intervention and change techniques used in the leadership development and education of executive coaches, the book sheds light on how the 'magic' of coaching works, what coaches actually do, and how their clients respond.
This book is a joint project between the IGLC and the CLDR. In compiling it, we have involved academics who conduct research, teach, and consult; leadership development coaches; change consultants; and executives who adopted IGLC methods for reflection on leadership development opportunities and challenges. We have also included people who have experienced IGLC methods in the process of their developmental journeys. They have collaborated, consulted their research and practice notes, analyzed data from inquiry projects, and shared their personal experiences in individual essays.

Through sharing the research methodologies, and describing intervention and change techniques used in leadership development, this book, written by IGLC-INSEAD professors and leadership coaches, contributes to a better understanding of how organizations may go beyond coaching in order to create best places to work.

Written In the language of Love, and in English, SOL AMORE means ONLY LOVE. If you love someone, give them love during the coming holidays. Karl has written these poems with emotion, and passion, which stems from a long stay in the void of torture and suffering. Without suffering there would be no joy; thus the greater the suffering, the greater the passion for joy and love. Give his gifts to those you would love. 'Sol'Amore' e pubblicato in inglese e in italiano, dopo molta fatica per tradurre questo libro per l'amore e per la pace. Tutte le vendite serviranno ad aiutare l'autore nella sua lotta per i diritti umani e civili. "Chi riesce ad ascoltare, toccare, sentire, odorare e vedere; riesce anche ad amare...e ad essere amato" Non e questo il dono piu grande che un essere umano possa ottenere? Amare ed essere amato.
