""Leadership is relationship. Without followers, there are no leaders. But just because someone reports to you does not mean they are following you. (They may be spitting in your coffee as they bring it to you.) Docherty and Bloomfield have taken this simple and complex observation to new heights in this engaging and well-grounded-in-research book. As if they have been studying at the Hogwarts of Coaching, they blend the magical potions of shared vision, emotional intelligence, and situational conversations into an explosive and exciting, developmental climate that can bring organizations to new levels of innovation and performance."" -Richard Boyatzis, PhD, Distinguished University Professor, Case Western Reserve University, Coauthor of the International Best Seller Primal Leadership and The Science of Change ""NeuroCoaching brings together the neuroscience and social science to give us a new lens to think about leadership.
