The research study Signaling a New Trend in Executive Coaching Outcome Research (de Haan & Duckworth, 2012) detailed the importance of ongoing coaching and/or mentoring to the success of a business’ leaders. The study begins by briefly over viewing the various aspects of successful business coaching by asking questions such as “does our coaching work?”, “what aspects of coaching work?” and “what intervention would work best here and now, with this client at this moment?” (de Haan & Duckworth, 2012, p. 6). Next the study began to break down breakdown the idea of measurement of coaching, but found that “all coaching outcome studies are weak by the standards of psychology and general medicine” (de Haan & Duckworth, 2012, p. 8). Even with no clear and robust studies available the research began to detail other like -minded studies in order to draw conclusions about executive coaching and its overall effects on business through statistical evaluation. The study utilized effect size analysis to identify “the practical strength of the conclusions about group differences or about a relationship among variables” (Clark & Creswell, 2010, p. 221). The study did not go into a great amount of detail on how data was collected for each study that was analyzed nor how the statistics were calculated, but did detail the parameters of each study. For example, the first set of studies reviewed utilized customer satisfaction as their variable on which data was collected from both coaches
Meaning refers to the value a person puts on a goal (Thomas and Velthouse, 1990). Self-determination refers to the degree a person has the choice to initiate actions (Deci et al., 1989). In this paper, psychological empowerment is evaluated in a leadership development context. Although there are some connections of psychological empowerment and leadership (Spreitzer et al., 1999; Zhu et al., 2004; Schneider and George, 2011; Hong et al., 2011), the focus of this paper addressed an under researched area as there is limited empirical investigation of leadership development and psychological empowerment. In a recent interview with one of the greatest basketball coaches of all-time, Coach Mike Krzyzewski noted that empowerment is crucial when developing leaders by stating that “you can’t give them responsibilities without empowering them to use their capabilities, their leadership, their techniques to accomplish a goal” (Siang and Sitkin, 2006, p. 37). Leadership development is defined as an individual’s capacity to expand their effectiveness in leadership roles through enhancing leadership skills, knowledge,

Coaching has a proven impact e.g. add coaching to an organizations initiative to increase focus; to training and its people learn more, up to six times as much in
Becoming an effective leader is about more than gaining experience and developing appropriate skills. It is also a developmental journey to increasingly complex world views which create new options for effective leadership. We look at the different stages through which leaders can pass as they travel on this journey of development and how these different stages evoke different coaching interventions. We relate this journey to our Renewal model. We also reflect on the implications of our model for coaching practice.
The change article by Grant (2014), has been chosen for its in-depth psychological analyses of a possible human resource (HR) issue; executive coaching. It parades an analysis of executive coaching in times of change that eventuates into an opinionated, yet empirical outcome. Some assumptions asserted in this article include; that change is not a level of intensity but a Boolean style aspect of HR (yes or no), small sample sizes are justifiable, and the value of providing a one-sided article persuades readers to support this side. With these assumptions in mind, Grant (2014) hypothesises that executives undergoing coaching, deliver on organisational goals more frequently. This is supported by a research case study
Recent turnovers in management and the loss of talented employees have significantly deprecated organizational performance. In the past, Weatherford leaders and managers perceived coaching to be something for the elite. All too often coaching was confined to the boardroom and carried out on a one-to-one basis. Typically managers were only exposed to coaching through skills workshops. Coaching and personal development was never offered to employees at the lower end of the hierarchical ladder. Weatherford’s company culture has been evolved in dysfunctional and outdated competitive business climates which created obstacles for the organization to be successful and staying competitive. Past leadership created low trust, ineffective teamwork, poor communication and high turnover. This type of leadership was directive, dictatorial, autocratic, and task oriented which denigrated employee knowledge and understanding of the nature, purpose, and other intricacies of the tasks at hand.
