The fourth section of the book expands these individual practices for use with teams.The Reflective Difference is written for anyone seeking to translate the knowledge gained from The Wise Leader into leadership programs or team coaching sessions, or into their everyday practice. It will be of interest to independent practitioners, including team coaches and facilitators, as well as those responsible for leadership development in organisations.
