Research based, provocative, and pragmatic, it is written in such a splendidly immediate style that it seems one has been invited into a thoughtful and highly enjoyable discussion on the why and how of outstanding coaching.

The volume is packed with insight from scholars and practitioners at the forefront of this field. Whether you are already involved in coaching or considering it, you'll find this book both useful and inspiring.' - Gianpiero Petriglieri, Affiliate Professor in Organisational Behaviour, INSEAD
'At INSEAD Manfred Kets de Vries runs inspired coaching and consulting courses that have no parallel at any other business school or university. When it comes to writing, he has a track record of producing extraordinary, incisive books that create ripples both in the worlds of business and academia. In The Coaching Kaleidoscope he brings these aspects together: coaches and scholars of international standing, many of whom work with him at INSEAD, have - under his editorship - written this wonderful and thoughtful book. If any confirmation were needed, this volume reminds us why Kets de Vries occupies such a unique position in the coaching field'. - Professor Mark Stein, Chair in Leadership and Management, University of Leicester
'The Coaching Kaleidoscope provides a terrific overview of the most recent ideas in leadership development and coaching. In this book, scholars and practitioners, recognized authorities and rising stars in leadership thought, paint a colourful and multifaceted picture of how clinical perspective can help not only transform individuals and teams, but also create better places to work. Impressive in the range of techniques and cases discussed, solid in its theoretical underpinnings, and yet accessible, this book will guide you through the journey of becoming a more effective coach and a more reflective leader.' - Natalia Karelaia, Assistant Professor of Decision Sciences INSEAD
'The Coaching Kaleidoscope brings together the reflections of different practitioners as a way to promote learning and help executives discover their 'inner journey'.

By allowing employees to share a conversation, an organization will create an environment in which knowledge is shared, employees' voices are heard, and where employees are engaged and empowered.' - Svetlana N. Khapova, Associate Professor of Career Studies & Director of Doctoral Education, VU University Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
