Coaching on the Dark Side
Dysfunctional personality characteristics can derail the career of an otherwise competent executive. Personality predicts both leadership effectiveness and derailment, and assessment of these characteristics is critical for effective coaching and leader development.

Assessment of these dysfunctional dispositions facilitates the coach's ability to build an effective coaching relationship, enhance the executive's strategic self-awareness, and identify appropriate targets and strategies for intervention.
