Currently completing ILM7 Executive Coaching and Mentoring. I find this book very thought provoking and challenging from a personal perspective and also from a professional standpoint. It crystallises many points in a succinct text which doesn’t overdo it in theory. It is very practical. I find I see where leadership is not that effective and identify with leaders I have encountered in the past who exemplified all the good stuff you want to see in leaders. ‘The purpose of the leader is to make sure there is leadership’ The whole idea of ‘presence’ being developed from the personal working its way out to the private and public as the foundations for success. I think everyone who is seeking to be a coach should have this text as a companion.
