Adrian Furnham

A chapter in Management and Myths, 2004, pp 49-50 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The popularity of executive coaching has taken many by surprise. Clearly it has fulfilled some important need. Just as the rich and powerful once needed a personal therapist both as a trophy and as an adviser, so managers now appear to have the need for an executive coach and their very expensive conversation.
