Críticas

"This is the textbook that marks the maturity of organizational coaching. Professors and students alike will appreciate the breadth and depth delivered by two international leaders in executive coaching and organizational change management."

- Linda J. Page, Adler Graduate School, USA

"Coaching for Change brings together coaching and change theories in a new and fresh way. It offers insights into theory and practice, with a model to help practitioners, and a basis in psychological research from the OD and coaching field, providing a trusted resource for the reader. The book is supported by further online materials, making it a valuable resource for students and reflective organisational practitioners. Written by two of the leading scholars in the field, this is a valuable contribution to the literature on the psychology of coaching and change."

- Jonathan Passmore, University of Evora, Portugal

"My only complaint is that I wish I had this book fifteen years ago! Coaching has become a critically important part of my work with leaders on change. Bennett and Bush provide a sound practical framework for those of us who coach people who lead and manage change. Leaders often know what they need to do, but something gets in the way. Effective coaching can help our clients remove those stumbling blocks. I believe that Coaching for Change gives us a discipline for engaging clients in those critical conversations."

- Rick Maurer, Advisor to leaders on building support for change, Rick Maurer & Associates

"Regardless of the target population (e.g., students, project leaders, managers, executives), participants will be able to leverage the potential of this resource"

Reseña del editor

Current research indicates that approximately 70% of all organizational change initiatives fail. This includes mergers and acquisitions, introductions of new technologies, and changes in business processes. Leadership is critical in initiating, driving and sustaining change to produce business results, and executive coaching is the best way to support leaders at all levels. Coaching for Change introduces a model for executive coaching that provides the tools and resources to support leaders in driving organization change.

In this book, a number of coaching and change models are explored with the goal of integrating them into a framework that can be applied to the individual, team or organization. Bennett and Bush explain the theories behind both coaching and change, and include practical sections on developing coaching skills. A companion website supports this book as a learning tool, featuring a curriculum, instructor guides, powerpoint presentations and more. 

Coaching for Change is a valuable book for students in coaching, change management or organizational development courses, as well as professionals who want to develop their skills to drive successful change within their organizations.
