PART VI

COACHING MODELS AND TOOLS

Part VI, Coaching Models and Tools, puts forth models and tools used by some of the world’s leading coaches. We begin the section with “Coaching Tools for the Leadership Journey” by Ken Blanchard, Madeleine Homan Blanchard, and Linda Miller. In this chapter, the authors define “relationship mapping” and “leadership point of view,” discuss their pivotal roles in coaching a new leader to success, then follow one man on his journey from Project Developer to CEO. Marshall Goldsmith describes his fun and successful technique in Chapter Twenty-Nine, “Try FeedForward Instead of Feedback.” And, though the title, “Three Types of Hi-Po and the Realise2 4M Model: Coaching at the Intersection of Strengths, Strategy, and Situation,” may sound like a complicated mathematical formula, Professor P. Alex Linley and Nicky Garcea’s article is actually a straightforward, highly pertinent discussion of the types of high-potential leaders and the differences in how they approach their environments in order to succeed within them. The final chapter of Part VI, “Coaching High-Potential Women: Using the Six Points of Influence Model for Transformational Change” by Barbara Mintzer-McMahon, presents a model for transformational change that is a key resource for addressing and mastering challenges that many high-potential women face today. It is an appropriate and superb finale for our printed book.
