I appreciate the recommendation and the review and will definitely check out the website and book. I'm particularly intrigued by your description of the study and collective data interpretation.

Underhill, Kimcee McAnally, and John J. Koriath; 2007: Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book reports the results of a research study sponsored by Executive Development Associates (EDA)- on High-Impact Executive Coaching. Once the data was collected, it was presented to 25 senior practitioners ("coaching owners from some of the world's top companies") to examine and interpret in a intensive workshop setting. This book shares the results of that conversation about best practices in executive coaching in organizations. Although it is a relatively short book (188 pages), it is packed with incredibly useful information for executive coaches and those who are establishing organizational coaching programs. In addition to the book, a website designed to continue the conversation can be found at www.executivecoaching4results.com On the site is a 15-page summary of the findings, a coaching program design checklist and other useful information. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in coaching in organizations. Jim Hi Francine,

I just started "Positive Psychological Assessment" by Shane J. Lopez and C.R. Snyder. It looks quite interesting. A classic for me is "How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work" by Kegan and Lahey. I just finished Anatomy of Peace from the Arbinger Institute. It looks at self-deception at levels from the individual to community and is an interesting read. Great idea Francine.
