Conclusion

In recent years there has been much research about the use and impact of coaching as a development process in organisations. We have outlined some of the research in this book and it is clear from that research that you as a leader or manager are going to need to be able to adopt a coaching style of management. Looking forward, it is becoming evident that a coaching style will become THE definitive approach to leading and managing.

We hope that this book will have convinced you of the need to coach and will accompany you on your journey to being a leader as coach. You will be amazed at the benefits not just for the people you coach, but also for yourself and your organisation.

We hope you enjoyed the book and we wish you the very best of luck.
