Do you want to find your own self-determined leadership style?
This book presents an evidence-based discussion of two critical areas that are gaining importance in the business world and personal development alike: namely, coaching and being a coach. Does coaching work? If so, then for whom does it add value and what is it really all about? Today, just about everybody in personal services seems to have become a coach. Is it just another modern expression or a buzzword for something that other disciplines were already providing? This book seeks to arrive at clear answers to these questions, providing a thought-provoking and insightful narrative that is likely to leave behind a lasting impact on the industry and its potential clients.

Stefan Rau, a manager who is only as successful as he is hard-working and ambitious, lives at the centre of the German corporate scene. But there is a deep-seated need for something greater than the obvious. His journey up Mount Kilimanjaro, where fate intertwines his path with the young guide David, whose life is as steep as the mountain he is climbing, is the result of this need. Drawing inspiration from David’s humility and feeling the weight of his difficulties, Stefan sets out to change his new friend’s life. David has a vision of a resort in Moshi, Tanzania that will give his family hope for the future. However, the dream soon turns into a nightmare when a horrific act lands him in tragedy. Plagued by guilt and hypothetical questions, Stefan is confronted with the terrible truth that his involvement may have had catastrophic consequences for the family. As he navigates the moral complexities of aid and its unforeseen consequences, Stefan takes readers on a journey that explores the delicate balance between good deeds and harm, between hope and tragedy. A moving story of adventure, camaraderie, resilience, and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned deeds.
Land to Die For is for anyone who has ever wondered how their choices affect other people and may find a connection to this story. This book tells a compelling story about how one person’s good intentions can turn tragic.

And what do the decision makers and leaders tell about my book?
Excellent book!Arun‘s latest publication „Effektives Coaching“ is a very good book that deserves attention. Well written by someone with many years of experience as a company leader and coach. I like the demystification of what coaching is and what not. I hope more people would embrace Arun‘s message that coaches can only help us reflect on who we are and what we want - rather than carry us along our winding paths in life. Enjoy the book!
★★★★★
The best book about coaching for every HR person involved in organisational coaching programs.
The best book about coaching and should be read by every HR person involved in organisational coaching programs. And of course if you are a coach or thinking of becoming one.
To become a leader is synonymous to become yourself. So easy to say and so difficult to do. The Solution: find a coach! One of the great gifts of coaching is its capacity to empower people and the human capability to learn. So, we find a coach. They empower us. We learn to take full responsibility for ourselves. We create what we want. We master our life. But how do you find the right coach? And what do you really know about coaching?
Arun Kohli’s book gives you all the answers. He classifies the difference between managing and leading and that coaching always person centered learning through self-reflection. Enables the client to better understand hers or his own views and perspectives. Coaching is a method to impact your leadership behaviour leading to better relationships, better efficiency, better performance and better contentment in one’s own life. Coaching should provoke you into thinking about new ways and triggers learning through reflection. It has nothing to do with outer game, only the inner game. It is a methodology that can be used by any profession!
Kohli ‘s book includes all aspects of what you need to know about coaching. How to create your personal coaching style. What I particularly like is his comment on goals: ”Goals may cause systematic problems in organisations due to narrowed focus, increased risk taking, unethical behavior, inhibited learning, decreased cooperation and decreased intrinsic motivation. Use care when applying goals in your organisation.” Another very interesting perspective he draws upon is the fallacy of coaching. Coaching can trigger a change and the change is due to learning and is dependent on the coaching method and the acceptance of the method by the learner. Not the coach. So when we as coaches promises sustainable change to our coachees: how can we do that? A change that holds forever would be static and that is not what we want. We want a transformation. Not change. And this internal process of transformation is based on our values system. I could not agree more.
He brings in all we need to know about coaching. Intercultural coaching, mindfulness in coaching, the basis of coaching and guiding principles, a very useful survey of coaching trainings and coaching companies, many very interesting case studies, his personal business experience, coaching as mindset, the coaching process: what is effective coaching, optimum length, who needs a coach?
Finally Kohli sums up what he and Sir James Whitmore and for sure from my side too: coaching is a method even Socrates used 2 400 years ago and will exist for as long as humanity has understood that there exists and effective method to learn and teach and where there is a behavior that encourages people to grow and flourish – and that is coaching.“

Bio
About the author
A global citizen, Arun Kohli’s story starts on the busy streets of Delhi, India. After graduating from the prestigious University of Delhi, he reignited his love of learning and discovery. With a hunger for education and fluency in various languages, Arun set off on a life-altering voyage to Germany as the managing director of a US corporation when he was just 23 years old. In situations where many gave up, Arun gained fame for his innovative approach to difficult problems during his 35-year-stellar career in the business world. His proficiency in multiple languages and his skill in navigating various formal and informal fields gave him an advantage in the boardrooms of global multinational corporations. Chinese, South Korean, Japanese, German, Italian, British, Sierra Leone, Tunisian, and countless more countries and cultures were all stops on Arun’s professional journey. In 2010, Arun delved further into his already impressive profession by rediscovering his passion for writing, intercultural training, and executive coaching at the C-Suite level. Arun has deftly moved into the roles of cultural sensitization trainer for large groups of managers, trusted mentor to C-suite executives, and published books, all the while continuing to coach top managers on their personal paths to success.
