Editorial Reviews

Review
Marshall Goldsmith, the country's leading executive coach, has this to say about The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest: Many executives have heard about executive coaching but don t know what it actually looks like. Through this business fable, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest, Steve Gladis has given such inquiring executives a clear picture of the entire executive coaching process from start to finish. I enjoyed all the fictional characters with their own quirks and issues, many of which I ve seen in my own Fortune 500 clients. Steve has done an outstanding job, and the next time someone asks me what executive coaching is all about, I ll say, Just read The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest --Marshall Goldsmith

Product Description
Written as a business fable, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest is the story of a gifted executive coach, J. C. Williams, and his coaching relationships with his varied business clients-all with their own professional challenges. The book offers engaging stories, has believable characters with realistic problems, and illustrates the structure and content of the coaching process. The book is a quick read-something any busy executive could read on a flight between Washington, DC and Boston-and is time very well spent, not only for the individual executive but for her or his company's future. Although executive coaching has become increasingly popular with organizations across the globe because of its effectiveness, many people don't know what it looks like until they actually commit to the process. The confidentiality involved in coaching between coach and client is somewhat responsible for the mysteriousness of the process. That's why Dr. Steve Gladis has written The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest to help leaders better see and understand how executive coaching works.

5.0 out of 5 stars G. Lee Salmon, Executive Coach, Federal Consulting Group, Department of Treasury, September 25, 2008
By G. Lee Salmon (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
I coach a lot of executives and political appointees in the Federal government and often find new clients don't understand what is executive coaching and what kind of impacts it can have on them and their organizations. Steve's book helps speed up the process in a succinct, easy to read way that is not time consuming. I find that giving my clients this book up front helps us move quicker and go deeper to achieve the results they want to achieve. I recommend this book to all practicing coaches as a useful tool to speed client engagement.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great book!, September 24, 2008
By Gary Kreps (Gaithersburg, MD) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I highly recommend this book to everyone who is interested in becoming a great leader! The narratives in this book strike a very familiar note and are most revealing of the complex relational struggles that confront leaders. Gladis does an excellent job illustrating the best communication strategies for meeting and overcoming these challenges. Steve Gladis becomes your leadership coach in this book, helping you successfully inspire, coordinate, and influence the people you work with. I really enjoyed reeading this book and I have already incorporated a lot of what I learned from the book in my personal and professional endeavors. I think you will find this book to be extremely valuable too!
