"The first-ever book on Executive Coaching in Asia was published in September 2010. Prof Sattar Bawany is one of the contributing authors".

The book, endorsed by Marshall Goldsmith (the world renowned executive coach and best selling author), provides expert guidance on topics such as:

• Development of High Potential Leaders

• Bringing an Asian mindset to Coaching

• Principles and Practices to increase Cross-cultural Effectiveness

• How Coaching across Asia is impacting Organisational, Team and Individual effectiveness

• How to create readiness for Coaching in Organisations

• Future Trends for Coaching in Asia

Summary of Prof. Bawany's chapters on “Maximising the Potential of Future Leaders: Resolving Leadership Succession Crisis with Transition Coaching” is appended below:

Talent management and retention is perennially at the top of CEO's most pressing worries. A company's leadership pipeline is expected to deliver its “next generation” of ready-now leaders. The key to ensuring an organisation has the leaders it needs when it needs them, is to accelerate the performance of future leaders including high potential employees, so that their skills and leadership abilities are as strong as possible when they are needed particularly as leaders transition from role to role.

Transition coaching is a strategic intervention that encompasses the goals of executive coaching, but focuses specifically on addressing leadership transitions i.e. the issues faced by newly appointed leaders and/or high potential executives' moving into leadership positions. Successfully assuming a new leadership role is often challenging and daunting and leaders must identify the right goals, develop a supporting strategy, align the architecture of the organization, and figure out what projects to pursue to secure early wins. DBM Transition Coaching® is a proven, integrated and systematic process, which engages new leaders into the company's corporate strategy and culture with the end goal to accelerate productivity.

Whether an executive is moving into a new position or looking to get back on the road to success, executive and transition coaching work to bring out the best in leaders through the support of a professional relationship. Both relationships are built on a foundation of trust and confidentiality. The ability of coaches to provide leaders with an outside resource that can also act as a sounding board helps them become the successful leaders they were meant to be.

Organizations must clearly define the purpose of coaching, gauge the process, and evaluate results. Coaching is not just about providing support. Ultimately, coaching should deliver what any business needs – real results.

Prof Bawany presented a White Paper on "Maximizing the Potential of Future Leaders in Asia" (based on the Research Findings presented in the Book) at a Plenary Session on Day 1 of the 2011 IPMC (International Professional Managers Conference) held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia from 24-25 January 2010 at Hotel Royale Chulan.
