Description

Coaching leadership teams: Getting organisational culture aligned is for those leaders, team leaders, coaching practitioners and organisational effectiveness specialists who want to manage coaching projects focusing on teams and alignment successfully. It also provides a mixed-method approach to coaching.

The case studies show how the coaching process helped clients to translate their preferred culture into leadership practices, which they embraced and incorporated into their balanced scorecards and daily activities. As a result they shifted entirely to their consciously chosen culture in a short period of time
