Helping the coach and client deepen their “mastery of practice”, Leadership Coaching for Results propels us into the best possible practices for leadership coaching in the twenty-first century. Leadership now isn’t what we considered it in the past – increasingly diverse and decentralised organisational teams, and continuing economic turmoil, demand a different style of leadership development.

Starting with a broad-ranging and indispensable review of the literature on leadership, this book examines current cutting-edge practices in coaching. It moves on to a comprehensive and practical global description of leadership coaching, and concludes by offering several challenging scenarios of what the next ten years may hold. This book will give you a myriad of perspectives, insights and pearls of wisdom to use in strengthening your practice and your leadership.

Dr Sunny Stout-Rostron is one of the leading practitioners in this field; the Founding President of the professional body Coaches and Mentors in South Africa (COMENSA); and a Founding Fellow at the Institute of Coaching at Harvard/McLean Medical School. Sunny is the author of six books, including Business Coaching Wisdom and Practice: Unlocking the secrets of business coaching, and Business Coaching International: Transforming individuals and organisations.

“During the past decade Sunny Stout-Rostron has moved to the forefront of thinkers, practitioners, teachers and contributors in the field of coaching. This book is set to become a primary source of reference for coaching, but more particularly for shaping how we think about leadership development in general.”
