Having better leaders within an organization brings about undeniable benefits: improved work climate, team engagement, customer focus, employee productivity, workforce retention, etc. And coaching as a means to develop leaders from all levels is also widely accepted. These two facts are undisputed.

But does coaching leaders systematically result in improving their leadership competence? Can coaching for leadership development be used in a more efficient fashion? If so, how?

These are questions tackled by Leadership Velocity. In this book, Patrick Doyon introduces a number of concepts, best practices and tools that, when understood and applied, make coaching for leadership development more efficient.
