The first comprehensive book covering ethical and legal guidelines
for personal and executive coaches
As coaching grows into a unique and fully established profession,
coaches are already discovering and dealing with the special
ethical and legal dilemmas that can arise in the coaching context.
Law and Ethics in Coaching presents the first comprehensive look at
ethical and legal issues in coaching. From coach-client conflicts
to conflicts of interest, from assessments to informed consent, the
authors detail the breadth of ethical quandaries in coaching and
provide highly practical advice for avoiding problems–and for
solving them.
With contributions from leaders in law, ethics, and coaching, the
text includes coverage of:
* The emergence of the coaching profession and its intersection
with ethics and law
* Foundations of ethics for professions
* Making ethical choices
* Getting, growing, and measuring coaching ability
* Developing and maintaining client trust
* Multiple-role relationships in coaching
* Ethical use of assessments in coaching
* Legal issues and solutions for coaches
* The intersection of culture and ethics in organizations
* Coaching into the future
Filled with a dynamic blend of case studies, discussion questions,
illuminating quotes, and other examples, Law and Ethics in Coaching
is both a trailblazing professional reference and an unparalleled
textbook for coaching programs.
