Managers who are considering a developmental plan that calls for an executive coach need more than a desire to improve their leadership capabilities. They also need to understand how to get the most from their work with a professional coach. This guidebook can help managers understand the unique nature of a coaching engagement and to assess their readiness to embark on this method of professional development. It describes the three main elements of a coaching engagement - assessment, challenge, and support - and provides information on how a manager can collaborate with a coach in each of these aspects to get the maximum benefits from coaching.
