Abstract

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoints practical implications from cutting‐edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach – This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings – The paper finds that, rather like love and romance, a lot of contradictory claims are written about executive coaching. It is enough to confuse even the most ardent of enthusiasts. Coaching articles provide among the most metaphor‐rich of all management literature. From popular music it is clear that love is both a battlefield and all you need. The world of executive coaching is able to combine the gung‐ho attitude of The Wild West with the religious simplicity and calm of Zen Buddhism. If the mist can be lifted what will be revealed? Practical implications – The paper 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.
