Beyond goals: effective strategies for coaching and mentoring

evidence base from which to develop its arguments. There is also little detail on what distinctive results such leaders achieve through their steward leadership approach. Overall, the book would have been greatly enhanced by a more academic introduction. The authors might consciously have rejected this in order to focus more on the leadership practice and on the practical aspects of development. They indeed speak from a position of great experience so it is surprising to find the evidential basis for their arguments given such little attention. There are some useful sections which do indeed stimulate thought and reflection on leadership, but the text as a whole, whilst accessible and relatively short, is rather disjointed. Development professionals will find some value in its overall approach and the themes which it highlights, but the overall impression is that the text as a whole could have been much more convincing had the evidence base been made clear at the outset.
