Signaling a New Trend in Executive Coaching Outcome Research

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 â€Å"does our coaching work?†, â€Å"what aspects of coaching work?† and â€Å"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 â€Å"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 stati stical evaluation. The study utilized effect size analysis to identify â€Å"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 coachesShow MoreRelatedLiterature Review on Sports2856 Words   |  12 Pagesfeasibility and sustainability of the communities.
