From the Back Cover

"What is Masterful Coaching?" asks Robert Hargrove. "Masterful coaching is about nothing but co-creating an Impossible Future with someone--from a good leader to great one, from a third world nation to a first, from industry follower to industry game changer."

Says Hargrove, "Coaching is the fastest, most powerful way to develop leaders at all levels." Ask people "'What is impossible that you are going to do today?' versus 'How are we going to get our list of homogenized corporate leadership competencies into you?'"

As people stretch to reach goals, they realize that what got them here as a leader isn't going to get them there. Masterful coaching is about transformational learning, not transactional techniques.
