The growth of leadership coaching demands a strong theoretical foundation and relevant scholarship to guide practitioners. This important volume will be a valuable tool for leadership coaches and the coach trainers who are shaping the next generation of leadership coaches." Ruth Reitmeier, PCC, Director of Coach Training, The Doerr Institute for New Leaders, Rice University"This book is sorely needed. It brilliantly combines succinct acknowledgement of the main theories of leadership while bringing a wholly contemporary look at what this means for every kind of leadership coaching. It embraces neuroscience, history, systems thinking, psychodynamics and much more. Reading it has given me many new ideas to bring to my own practice." Jenny Rogers, author, coach, supervisor, and coach educator"This monograph provides a twenty-first century perspective on coaching principles, practices, and impacts. The research is directed at deepening coaches' practice as well as reinforcing the importance and role of their own on-going development."Dr. Damian Goldvarg, Master Certified Coach, Accredited Supervisor, Past Global President International Coach Federation (2013-2014)
