Reviews

"This ground-breaking book provides a comprehensive and insightful discourse on strength-based leadership coaching in organisations. Dr Doug MacKie has written a tour de force on this important and contemporary subject."
*Professor Stephen Palmer, President, International Society for Coaching Psychology*

"My frustration over the years with buying and participating in leadership development programs is not knowing which bits really work. Doug combines his skill of being a first-rate coach with a research-rich approach to cut through to what really matters. This book is equally applicable to practitioners as it is to leaders who want to practically understand what they can do to improve organisational performance."
*Guy Templeton, President & CEO, Asia Pacific, WSP | Parsons Brinckerhoff*

"Strengths-based Leadership Coaching in Organizations provides a rare and timely combination of scholarly critique and pragmatic application on the topic of positive leadership development....The book represents a valuable resource for both researchers and practitioners."
*Dr Sandy Gordon, Associate Professor, Sport & Exercise Psychology, The University of Western Australia*

"This is a book that needed to be written. It not only nails down the lid on the coffin of deficit-based leadership development, but provides a pragmatic and practical agenda for moving to a strengths-based approach at both individual and corporate level. A must read for anyone serious about building the capacity of existing and future leaders to manage in a complex and dynamic environment!"
*Professor David Clutterbuck, David Clutterbuck Partnership*

"Strength-Based Leadership Coaching in Organisations takes on some of the key frustrations in contemporary leadership development theory and practice... and offers a new approach. This surely must lead to more authentic and courageous leadership....The book will become an important guide and manual for any serious professional working to develop better leadership at the individual, team and organisational level."
*Rolf Moses, Director People & Development, Norton Rose Fulbright Australia*
