High-Impact Coaching for Organizational Change

J Bennett, M Bush International Journal of Coaching in Organizations 2011

The authors of this article propose a new way of looking at coaching and organizational change. While coaching and change are not new, high-impact coaching is a way of looking at the roles and stages of organizational change within the context of a coaching process. High-impact coaching helps executive coaches take into account the role the leader plays, the current stage in the change process, and the specific aspect of the coaching process being addressed. The authors offer an approach that employs coaching questions to target four roles in a six-stage change process and show that high-impact coaching is the most effective method way in which to coach for change.
