"After 30 years of learning and practicing leadership, I have just read a masterpiece on the subject. The Leader and the Coach blends the science of application with "ways of being" that demand a leader become more awake to humanity. The book elucidates tough topics such as an isolated workforce, global uncertainty to the Great Resignation, all the while embracing a hybrid style of leadership for today's business climate. Chandler and Keiper are both masters in their experience and wisdom and this book will seep into your Soul. Read it." ~Stephen McGhee, Transformational Coach
The biggest challenge facing humankind (perhaps aside from the potential untimely demise of the habitat we occupy) is the ability to rapidly adapt to an ever-more accelerating rate of change. This is driving the need for transformational leadership. Humanness as a principal factor in leadership has historically not been the top priority. Seeing and hearing team members as wholly human is not only relevant to talent attraction and retention but is an asset which astute and courageous leaders can leverage for improving communication, bettering collaboration, enhancing creativity, and achieving greater prosperity.
In this book, the authors explore these opportunities from the perspectives of a leader and a coach of leaders. We believe that the leaders with traditional skills who add skill in one-on-one coaching, can create powerful transformations for individuals, teams, and whole organizations. To help their team members increase their contributions, leaders must first embrace these more humanistic skills themselves. Simply put, the best leaders must infuse their leadership with some feeling. Whether a CEO of a Fortune 500 company or a local hardware store, an executive director of a non-profit or the president of a school board, a Girl Scout volunteer leader or a high school sports coach, a pastor or parent, or coaching one—the time has come for new approaches in developing the people and culture for which leaders are responsible.
