This book will help you transform your leadership coaching practice. Helping the coach and client deepen their “mastery of practice”, Leadership Coaching for Results propels us into the best possible practices for leadership coaching in the twenty-first century. Leadership now isn’t what we considered it in the past – increasingly diverse and decentralised organisational teams, and continuing economic turmoil, demand a different style of leadership development. Starting with a broad-ranging and indispensable review of the literature on leadership, this book examines current cutting-edge practices in coaching. It moves on to a comprehensive and practical global description of leadership coaching, and concludes by offering several challenging scenarios of what the next ten years may hold. This book will give you a myriad of perspectives, insights and pearls of wisdom to use in strengthening your practice and your leadership. Dr Sunny Stout-Rostron is one of the leading practitioners in this field; the Founding President of the professional body Coaches and Mentors in South Africa (COMENSA); and a Founding Fellow at the Institute of Coaching at Harvard/McLean Medical School. Sunny is the author of six books, including Business Coaching Wisdom and Practice: Unlocking the secrets of business coaching, and Business Coaching International: Transforming individuals and organisations.

The book provides a revealing overview of the entire coaching process, examining the latest theoretical trends and cutting-edge theories and providing practical advice: from how to pursue your own professional development to drawing up a contract with clients. There is a handy, wide-ranging assessment of the bewildering array of coaching models, helpful clarifications about core competences, existential and experiential learning factors, and detailed advice on question frameworks. Here, too, is guidance on the need for supervision, and an examination of ethical dilemmas which face all coaches and mentors. Of particular interest to South Africa is the in-depth study by Marti Janse van Rensburg on diversity, personality and cultural complexity. Dr Stout Rostron also explores your clients' existential issues and discusses the crucial impact of the "coaching relationship."
