"A comprehensive and authoritative overview of authentic, reflective coaching, this is an essential volume for anyone who is serious about the quality and continuous development of their coaching." -Professor David Clutterbuck, David Clutterbuck Partnership "Benjamin Disraeli once said, "the greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own." Erik de Haan and Yvonne Burger have done the coaching community a great service by offering a much needed panoramic view of the field. Reading this book is a must." -Manfred F. R. Kets de Vries, Distinguished Clinical Professor of Leadership Development and Organizational Change, INSEAD 'Coaching with Colleagues is ambitious in its depth and range, written with passion and enthusiasm, and rich in metaphor All in all, it is a rigorous and valuable guide for managers and professional coaches alike.' -Ann Lewis, Director, Ann Lewis Coaching 'This book will provide a useful perspective for anyone involved in coaching who has learned a collection of techniques and interventions from a variety of methodologies without fully understanding where they come from and how they fit together.' - Nigel Harris, Partner, Burton Sweet chartered accountants and business advisers 'This is a really comprehensive and detailed analysis of the different approaches to coaching. It really "brings it all together". But more than this, the book sets out an agenda for a more integrative approach to coaching.' - Andrew Atter, Business Coach 'Professionals today, in whatever field, have an increasing need for life-long learning What de Haan and his collaborators gives us is a clear framework to better organise, supervise and facilitate our own professional development, and to advise our own colleagues and their organisations.' - Geof Cox, Author and Consultant, New Directions Ltd
