Coaching: Who Wants to Be a Top Executive?

Thierry Chavel

Chapter 27 in Handbook of Top Management Teams, 2010, pp 258-262 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Between the practical advisor and the spiritual director, the coach introduces a singular form of support for the corporate executive. On the one hand, executive coaching is gradually taking the place of the management consultant who relies on standard and objective rational models. On the other, the existence of executive coaching attests to the limitations of a personal ‘psycho-spiritual’ development presumed to occur outside the firm. This produces an approach to corporate leadership that is both more orthodox as to the foundations of activity in the firm, and more subversive as to the meaning of individual leadership.
