Abstract

Although executive coaching has become a key part of the developmental leadership programs for over 90% of Fortune 500 companies, very few tools exist in the leadership literature that measure its outcomes. This is why notwithstanding reported benefits, executive coaching is still debated and looking for its place in the range of the most effective tools for leadership development. This article reports on an instrument designed on the basis of a study (n = 172) for measuring the benefits of executive coaching in five dimensions - Personal Development, Effective Leadership, Career Development, Teamwork, and Organisational Performance. The instrument was tested for reliability and validity thus providing future researchers with a valuable tool to measure the benefits of executive coaching in organisational studies, and HRD managers and specialists with a valid instrument to develop key managers and employees.
