Abstract

Over the past 10 years, executive (leadership)-based coaching with senior managers has become widely adopted by the corporate community and is quickly expanding into nonprofit and governmental sectors. Leadership coaching has been mainly for the purpose of improving or enhancing management skills; however, there are many personal aspects involved such as the enhancement of behavior. Adapting a leader's behavior is accomplished through such tools as individual assessments, feedback, developmental planning, executive coaching, and implementation of a plan. In reviewing the literature, it was found that focusing on appropriate combinations of key factors such as applying coaching within the relationship and effectively employing a women's leadership development program (WLDP) can effectively facilitate women's leadership development. This article represents a real-world coaching framework that can be implemented effectively in a variety of professional educational programs in organizations.
