"Psychologists, coaches, and consultants from around the world describe 15 popular and less-well known leadership coaching models. In addition to the Western view of leadership, a few of the models draw on other traditions, such as ancient Asian philosophers and African myths. Some models explored include authentic leadership, coaching for emotionally intelligent leadership, coaching political leaders, transformational leadership, and coaching global teams. Supporting research is reviewed for each model, and each chapter includes case studies." --Book News, Inc. Collapse
