The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest

Foreword by Marshall Goldsmith, the world's leading executive coach. A business fable, The Executive Coach in the Corporate Forest is the story of a young, gifted executive coach, J. C. Williams, and his coaching relationships with his rather varied and interesting business clients—all with their own challenges. The book offers some engaging stories, has believable characters with realistic problems, and illustrates the structure and content of the coaching process. The book is a quick read and was written because many executives don’t understand the coaching process, but this book makes that process clearer through a readable, fictional case study.

The Journey of the Accidental Leader
