Nigel MacLennan has been successfully coaching
leaders, and innovating in the field of leadership for decades. At the time of
writing he has created 58 publications in the field of leadership coaching.
His
works are at the cutting-edge of leadership, and have made a significant
improvement to the specific fields of leadership they cover. For instance, the
models in 'Coaching and Mentoring' (published by Gower, and their No
1 best seller in that year), were the first process models of coaching.
His work
on culture management (in 'Awesome Purpose') made clear, for the first
time, the relationship between the elements of corporate governance and culture.
In 'Opportunity Spotting' he published the first model which allows any
leader to systematically and reliably generate vast numbers of commercially
relevant opportunities, and, provides a structure leaders can use to generate
ideas through staff.
In 'The 10 Commandments of Change' he identified,
for the first time, the immutable rules of successful organisational change.
Skipping 50 or so publications, to one of his later works, for example, 'The
Perfect Motivator' takes leaders to new levels of understanding of how
to bring out the best performance and motivation in their staff.
After
founding, growing and selling out of his first successful business Nigel led the
successful turnaround of several national scale businesses. He was a Director of
the Chartered Institute of Management, (where he led the campaign to introduce
best-practice corporate governance). For nearly 10 years he was Visiting
Professor of Management at the International University of Monaco, and was
ranked the No 1 professor by the MBA students he taught.
Nigel has a Degree in Psychology and a Doctorate in Leadership Coaching. Nigel offers these words to all aspiring leaders: "Great leadership, in popular myth, is about experiencing one success after another; in grounded reality, it is about learning from experience when you sought success but achieved the other."
