Abstract
This chapter presents a framework called the Thinking Path that has proved useful in leadership coaching. The key idea behind the Thinking Path is that people’s conscious and unconscious thought processes (their Thinking) generate emotional/physical states (their Feelings) that in turn drive behaviors (their Actions) that produce outcomes (their Results). Figure 18.1 illustrates the Thinking Path framework.
