Changing on the Job, Second Edition

The first edition of Changing on the Job. became a popular guide for executive coaches and leadership trainers, (and sold tens of thousands of copies), because it simplified a set of complex tools and ideas to help executive coaches develop leaders, based on "Adult Development Theory. " The book explains that leaders grow through predictable stages of maturity and wisdom, and argues that if we do not deliberately help leaders advance to higher levels of wisdom, courage, and complexity, we will be unable to solve the global problems which are plaguing us, like climate change, war, or the next global crisis. The leaders we need to solve our complex, unprecedented problems can only be developed in the workplace, and they need the advanced perspective, and personal evolution described this book. The second edition includes three new chapters written directly for leaders, and many updates. It is the only book in its field that's easy to read and offers clear descriptions of what adult/leader growth looks like, as well as a series of tools and ideas to help people grow.
