“In this book an experienced consultant and a coach engage in what the late Donald Schön called ‘reflective practice’:They critically assess what they have learned through experience, contrast it with established and emerging scholarship, and share the lessons learnt with others. One hopes that their courage will spur other experienced readers to engage in such critical thinking themselves.”
