Coaching: The Secret Code to Uncommon Leadership

Coaching is the
secret to uncommon leadership

This
book lucidly illustrates how a leader can bring out the very best in people
by coaching them, and how coaching can unleash creativity as well as
innovation while inspiring teams to play to their potential. It also examines
how coaching helps leaders maintain a fine balance between managing and
guiding, and between appraising and supporting their teammates. While many
excellent books have been written about leadership, talent and coaching, this
is a rare book that stands boldly at the intersection of leadership and
coaching.

This is a book for our times. Businesses are facing a new reality,
characterized by a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) world.
This new reality has forced organizations to depart from conventional command-and-control
practices to a completely new model - a model in which leaders support and
guide, rather than instruct and control, their team members. Exploring some
of the key ingredients of impactful leadership, Coaching offers tips

and tricks, backed by research and incisive insights, on how to become an
effective leader-coach. Peppered with interesting anecdotes and analogies,
drawn from sports, performing arts and other walks of life, the book is a
breezy read. Interviews with corporate leaders and academics further enrich
the narrative.

Guaranteed to make for a very interesting read, the book will be useful to leaders,
aspiring leaders and especially those that wish to transition from being just
good leaders to extraordinary ones.
