Learning to Coach Leaders

Abstract

Executive coaching - the professional practice of coaching leaders - is one of the consulting world’s significant success stories. This chapter captures the author’s experiences in helping people learn to coach leaders. It highlights two key synergistic elements of the author’s coach training: (1) each student’s personal model of coaching; and (2) case experience combined with supervision. Teaching requires reductionist thinking. The authors break down complex subjects into discrete constituent topics that can be discussed, examined, and applied. The chapter finally discusses the three output areas of personal models: describing one’s approach to delivering coaching, presenting one’s practice to the marketplace of coaching, and addressing the gap between current skills and aspirations as a coach. Controlled Vocabulary Terms Executive coaching; Leadership coaching
