The current paper brings together three bodies of work, each of which contributes to a new approach to learning and development, and identifies three elements that can be used with leaders in coaching: security, stories, and scaffolding. In particular, it looks at how Developmental Threshold Zones (Drake, 2018a) can be used to enrich the coaching process and outcomes with leaders. The first section explores attachment theory and its contribution to understanding how leaders secure themselves relationally. The second section explores narrative coaching and its contribution to understanding how leaders develop and move through change. The third section explores Vygotsky's (1934/1987, 1978) work on zones of proximal development and its contribution to our understanding of the scaffolding leaders need into order to grow. Each section contributes to the our understanding of how to use Developmental Threshold Zones (DTZs) and how it can be used in coaching to facilitate transformative experiences for leaders using their own stories.

重新思考与领导者的工作：在教练中使用发展阈值区

本白皮书汇集了三个工作主体，每个主体都为学习和发展的新方法做出了贡献，并确定了可以与领导者一起使用的三个要素：安全性，故事和脚手架。特别是，它探讨了如何使用发展阈值区（Drake，2018a）来丰富领导者的教练过程和成果。第一部分探讨依恋理论及其对理解领导者如何确保自身关系安全的贡献。第二部分探讨了叙事教练及其对理解领导者如何在变革中发展和前进的贡献。第三部分探讨了维果斯基（Vygotsky）（1934/1987，1978）在近端发展区的工作及其对我们理解脚手架领导者成长所需的贡献。
