Democratic Coaching

Democratic Coaching: A Case Study for Leaders seeks to understand the democratic coaching style by observing the practices of a specific democratically- minded coach. This revealing piece of literature gives an insightful look into the little known, but fast growing Democratic Coaching leadership style. The study first characterizes a democratic coach by comparing the democratic leadership style with other styles of leadership; then offers a clear understanding of the methods and practices of the case study coach by organizing the findings of the study into four categories: communication techniques, organizational structure, coaching decisions and strategies, and the environment created. Within these four categories, themes emerged that helped answer the questions: How is democratic coaching understood and practiced by a democratically-minded coach? The book provides a wonderful insight into the inner workings of a Democratic Coach and the day to day operations of the team the coach must lead. This is a must read for innovative and progressive leaders who are seeking ways to enhance the function of their team.
