Coaching leaders to be coaches at EDS

As part of EDS's recent corporate transformation, a two‐pronged coaching initiative is helping leaders think more innovatively, take inspired action, and be more accountable. A brain‐based approach provides a coaching framework for professional delivery of one‐on‐one coaching and for equipping all leaders with the skills to coach others in the organization. A coach or leader uses the four‐step methodology to move an individual through the mental stages necessary to alter brain patterns in a way that leads to sustainable behavior change. Coaching skills training is being delivered to EDS leaders around the globe through interactive teleconference sessions. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
