    (Routledge)

    "All Coaching is About Change" - John L. Bennett and Mary Wayne Bush present Coaching for Change



    No longer reserved as a perk for those at "the top of the house", coaching in organizations is now recognized as a core skill set for managers and leaders at all levels and for peers who support peers, both internally and externally.

     

    Hailed as "the textbook that marks the maturity of organizational coaching", John L. Bennett and Mary Wayne Bush's Coaching for Change introduces a model that shows why coaching is the intervention of choice for driving organization change. "Professors and students alike will appreciate the breadth and depth delivered by two international leaders in executive coaching and organizational change management," says Linda J. Page at Adler Graduate School, USA.

     

    "My only complaint is that I wish I had this book fifteen years ago!" laments Rick Maurer, an advisor to leaders on building support for change at Rick Maurer & Associates.

     

    Coaching for Change explores a number of coaching and change models with the goal of integrating them into a framework that can be applied to the individual, team or organization.

     

    It explains the theories behind both coaching and change, and includes 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.
