Executive coaching history: Growing out of organisational development

Abstract

The aim of this conceptual review paper is to uncover the link between coaching psychology and organisation development. While coaching is one of the fastest-growing professions, it has been argued to lack good research data. Nonetheless, executive coaching has grown from a rogue and unstandardised process to a profession with proven results and a credentialing process. Upon exploring the history of the coaching psychology intervention as it has grown into a profession, it is evident that executive coaching has a connection to the business world and truly started to define itself in the 1980s. Its roots clearly define its strong ties to the organisation development field as a positive-focused development tool which is exemplified through numerous coaching outcome studies. It is hoped that more collaborative studies can be undertaken between the OD consultants and the coaches to improve organisational performance both at the micro (individual) and macro (organisation) level.
