What you need to know about "What works in Executive Coaching" (part I):

These 5 aspects lead to better results in executive coaching, (according to 160 coaching outcome research studies):1️⃣ The coach:Coaches with a good reputation have better results. The coach's credibility and background are crucial for the success of the coaching program.2️⃣ The technique of the coach:There is no evidence of a concrete technique being more effective than other but these approaches work better:✔ coaching vs instruction✔ Positive (solution-focused) vs critical (problem-focused)✔ Friendly vs hostile-submissive techniques3️⃣ The coachee's personality or background:Extroverted clients achieve more.Clients low in self-presentation ability (charm) benefit more from coaching even thought they give lower satisfaction rates.4️⃣ Prepardness and motivation of the coachee:A coachee who is resilient, optimistic and can self-motivate will do better in executive coaching.5️⃣ Coach-client relationship during coaching:The coach-coachee relationship is the best predictor of coaching outcome. Surprisingly, this relationship is the aspect of coaching that shows the greatest effectiveness. It is the one of the few ingredients that both parties can influence together!In regards the coach-client matching and diversity, neither demographical, personality or gender matching seem to have a profound impact on the coaching.This is my own summary of the chapter 2 of the book "What works in Executive coaching" by Erik de Haan.
