Executive coaching is a relatively new but increasingly popular means of leadership development. Yet despite the rapid growth in the use of executive coaching in organizations and in the number of books and articles related to executive coaching in the popular press, scholarly research on the subject lags behind practice. The Leadership Coaching Sourcebook provides a resource for both practitioners and researchers interested in gaining or updating an understanding of the current state of executive coaching and enables them to do so in a systematic manner. By focusing on key research and practices in the executive coaching literature, this sourcebook provides not only a mechanism for consolidating our thinking about leadership coaching issues but also a succinct reference for building future research efforts. Each article is described with an outline that details its relevant sections; design and methodology; findings and implications; originality and value; and strengths and limitations. The Leadership Coaching Sourcebook presents the most current and solid research on executive coaching.
