About This Book

The ﬁeld of coaching is booming! While this is a great step forward, it also means that too

many people claiming to be “experts” are jumping on the coaching bandwagon. We, and

publisher Pfeiffer, think it’s time to disseminate best practice so that it becomes the norm.

Based on our success with the highly acclaimed ﬁrst edition of Coaching for Leadership, we

are certain that we are best qualiﬁed to perform this important task.

With almost 25,000 copies sold, Coaching for Leadership is easily the most successful lead-

ership coaching book in Pfeiffer history—as well as one of the top ﬁve general Pfeiffer

coaching titles of all time. It is an invaluable and timeless compilation of theory and

thoughts from some of the world’s best thinkers and has become a key resource for indi-

viduals, leaders, practitioners, and teachers involved in the burgeoning ﬁeld of executive

coaching. As Warren Bennis said, “It’s the single best collection of writing and writers on

executive coaching. It’s really become a ‘must have’ for the library of all coaches.”

Due to the great success of the ﬁrst edition of the book, Pfeiffer has commissioned us to

update and expand Coaching for Leadership. This new and revised book, Coaching for Lead-

ership: The Practice of Leadership Coaching from the World’s Greatest Coaches, focuses

its messages on two key audiences. The ﬁrst is the rapidly growing number of executives

who are reaching retirement and aspire to become executive coaches. The second new au-

dience is the corporate HR department, which is now faced with new challenges in un-

derstanding and managing a coaching intervention. It delivers the well-researched best

practices of the world’s ﬁnest coaches and includes updated versions of some of the arti-

cles published in Coaching for Leadership as well as many entirely new articles.
