Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most coaches know that Personality Type indicators can add enormous value to their work. Based on the work of the distinguished Swiss psychologist, Carl Jung, questionnaires such as the MBTI® and its many rivals can give clients swift, deep, unsettling and reliable insights into their own behaviour and needs. Yet many coaches hesitate, asking questions such as: • Do I know enough about it to use it confidently? • Where does it add value in work with senior leaders? • Where can it be useful when I’m working with a client on career issues? • What should I do when a client challenges me on validity and reliability? • What other psychometric assessments might I use and how do they complement Type indicators? • How should I use it with groups, for instance on management development programmes? • How does it work as part of a team coaching project? This book will build your confidence. It gives you honest, straightforward, practical and realistic advice on these and other issues, from an author who is internationally recognised as a leading thinker and practitioner in executive and team coaching, as well as being an expert on Jungian Type.

Download or read book EBOOK Managing Organizational Change A Multiple Perspectives Approach written by Ian Palmer and published by McGraw Hill. This book was released on 2008-07-16 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Organizational Change provides managers with an awareness of the issues involved in managing change, moving them beyond "one-best way" approaches and providing them with access to multiple perspectives that they can draw upon in order to enhance their success in producing organizational change. These multiple perspectives provide a theme for the text as well as a framework for the way each chapter outlines different options open to managers in helping them to identify, in a reflective way, the actions and choices open to them. Changing organizations is as messy as it is exhilarating, as frustrating as it is satisfying, as muddling-through and creative a process as it is a rational one. This book recognizes these tensions for those involved in managing organizational change. Rather than pretend that they do not exist it confronts them head on, identifying why they are there, how they can be managed and the limits they create for what the manager of organizational change can achieve.

Book excerpt: Coaching just got easier In recent years the idea of coaching and the role of coach have made the journey from the sports field, via Human Resources, to become part of everyday managerial life. The terms 'coach' and 'coaching' have become common, even trendy, but both are widely misunderstood. If you ask anyone to define the word 'coach', you will get a wide variety of responses. By using coaching, we can tap into the huge reserves of talent and potential that lie dormant in most people. As managers, we can develop people without having to rely on passing on our own skills and knowledge, which may already be out of date. Using our skills in coaching, we can help our people access their ability without needing more than a basic grasp of the technicalities of their role. This book aims to give you enough knowledge and appreciation of coaching that you can begin to develop your own approach. Each of the seven chapters in Coaching In A Week covers a different aspect of coaching: - Sunday: What is coaching? - Monday: The manager as coach - Tuesday: The key principles of coaching - Wednesday: The coaching ARROW, part 1 - Thursday: The coaching ARROW, part 2 - Friday: Coaching in context - Saturday: Coaching in organizations
