Coaching Leadership

Description

Coaching Leadership is about building leadership capacity in individuals, and in institutions, through enhancing professional relationships. It is based on the importance of maximising potential, and harnessing the ongoing commitment and energy needed to meet personal and professional goals. Based on over a decade of research and development, nationally and internationally, Coaching Leadership brings you the empirical evidence, the principles, and the skills, to be able to develop your own leadership and that of others you work with. Coaching Leadership will assist educators who believe in the development of leadership at all levels, to dialogue effectively with professional colleagues for the improvement of leadership practice. Jan Robertson is an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean in the School of Education, at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand. She is Director of the Educational Leadership Centre and studies and teaches about coaching and mentoring, action research and leadership development. Her work is widely respected both in New Zealand and overseas.
