John Blakey writes business books about leadership, executive coaching and the role of trust in organisational performance. Challenging Coaching, written with Ian Day, argues that coaching should combine support with direct challenge through a framework built around feedback, accountability and systems thinking. The Trusted Executive focuses on habits associated with ability, integrity and benevolence, while Force for Good turns toward purpose-driven leadership and the balance between profit, people and wider social responsibility.
