Abstract
Purpose

Design/methodology/approach
This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context.
Findings
Executive coaching is big news right now. Companies across the globe have recognized the value of adopting such a consultative one‐to‐one tailored approach when developing their key talent. However, despite having been around for a considerable amount of time, this type of management development still does not have a formal, internationally recognized accreditation scheme. Consequently there are no formal guidelines for coaching approaches and techniques, nor are there defined standards to which all coaches must conform. In this context, effectively assessing your client becomes critical.
Practical implications
Provides strategic insights and practical thinking that have influenced some of the world's leading organizations.
Originality/value
The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy‐to‐digest format.
