Coaching High-Performance Teams: with Horatio, Admiral Lord Nelson's Rules of Leadership

The year 2005 marks the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar, a key event which formed the modern global world. Trafalgar was won through the coaching-inspired leadership of Horatio, Admiral Lord Nelson. Nelson used his emotional intelligence throughout his career to inspire superb victories by the Royal Navy. This book uses recently published research on Nelson's life to show how great leadership rests on coaching principles. It will interest professionals and students in all lines of work, including business, public services, and the uniformed services. It will also compel the attention of anyone involved in coaching, mentoring, personnel management, executive development and self-improvement. Dr Grant Ledgerwood, international management coach and strategist, is director of research for the UK College of Life Coaching (www.ukclc.net). "This book is fantastic - a great way of demonstrating that coaching isn't a recent concept and a 'fad' that will go out of fashion." Sue Roberts, Learning Manager, Deutsche Bank London
