Coaching the Dark Side of Personality

While the practice of strengths-based coaching remains popular in the global workplace, Coaching the Dark Side of Personality sheds light on the toxic tendencies and behaviors that can derail the careers of today’s leaders. In combining the power of Hogan’s science with more that two decades of coaching expertise, Coaching the Dark Side of Personality helps leaders uncover the characteristics responsible for inhibiting their performance and limiting their careers. The book also provides readers with an advanced framework to establish a comprehensive model outlining the role of personality in leader performance, to describe the essentials of personality-based behavior change and to outline the coaching fundamentals that are necessary for success when working with leaders. In addition, the book offers coaching tips that have been proven to produce positive performance improvements. “When we set out to write this book, our goal was to provide a practical leadership development guide for both executive coaches and those leaders they coach,” says Kellett.
