The Leader Coach: Exposing Your Soul with Terry Edwards

"Gut-wrenchingly real. Mr. Lebenstein educates whoever will listen to him so that the past will never be repeated. The Gazebo is a must read." - Armchair Interviews Book Review

Leaders today come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and creeds. It is also quite common to use the

term manager and leader interchangeably. This book is about the person who strives to take the giant

step to become the Leader Coach. While certainly still a manager and a leader, the role of Leader

Coach is all about the special relationship that develops between Leader Coach and Player through

the art of effective communication.

By developing your team (players) through the use of the Social, Performance, and Developmental

Conversations, a Leader Coach can help release achievement drive and enhance performance in their

players. It is also about the joy and self-actualization that occurs during the Journey when a Leader

Coach and the Player mutually take the risk and expose their souls to one another during this

evolutionary and sometimes extraordinary process. The Leadership Coaching Coefficient Triangle is

presented for the leader to conduct self-analysis, to determine current and future leadership capabilities.

This book is designed as a pragmatic, how-to book for the leader who is serious about building or improving his or her organization, one person at a time. Intended more as a guide, the authors share personal insights, anecdotes and experiences from both their professional and personal lives that have made them successful in these endeavors.

From servant leadership and selfless giving on the part of the Leader Coach to the ownership of the change that takes place in the person being coached, Leader Coaching is both the hardest, yet most rewarding, work that a leader can engage in, and when done properly, becomes the Leader Coach's legacy.
