Written by six experienced coaches, all members of the Institute of Coaching at McLean (an affiliate of Harvard Medical School) who have over 100 years coaching experience between them, MYPRISM emerged from pandemic lockdown discussions and addresses the critical issue of managers and executives relying on 'autopilot' to guide them, their leadership practice and their organizations through the challenges they encounter.This short but highly readable book uses the MYPRISM acronym to guide the reader through the seven elements of their intentional leadership framework. The prism metaphor reminding us how illuminating the process can be, allowing us to turn confusion and chaos into colour and clarity.Defaulting to an 'autopilot' is efficient only when there is no time to think or when circumstances have not substantially changed. In today's complex world decision-making and organizational management requires something more intentional: mindful leadership.Autopilot is a natural default choice in the face of change, when it is scary or uncertain. However, if left unchecked, autopilot creates blind spots, distorts reality and clouds perspectives and frequently can lead to suboptimal solutions. MYPRISM brings the collected insights and wisdom of the authors executive coaching experience together and provides a simple framework to turn off your autopilot and choose mindful leadership.

From an emergent and niche market, the Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) will undoubtedly grow to answer the new needs of senior managers working in increasingly complex and uncertain work contexts that require decision-makers trained in the critical thinking skills provided by a DBA for professionals.This book has been written by professors and managers working in internationally accredited DBAs run by leading higher education institutions on three continents. It aims to explain why this development will happen, and why more and more managers will decide to pursue what is a rather special and unique doctoral programme. It also aims to answer many of the questions that future DBA students are likely to ask.The book has therefore been structured into three logical parts:Part one, Why a DBA programme?, answers some key questions about the reasons for the existence of a doctoral programme for business professionals. The authors explain that DBA programmes exist toanswer the need of the market, and clearly expose the differences between a DBA and a PhD.Part two, The DBA programme, opens up the black box of this so-far little-known doctoral programme. The authors clarify participant profiles and motivations, programme design, the partnership between student and supervisor, student support mechanisms, and the all-important supervision of the thesis.Part three, The impact of the DBA, then discusses the huge added-value of a DBA for practising managers in terms of personal benefit, but also for their organisations, and for wider society.
