                The Coaching Industry: A Work in Progress
There’s no question that future leaders will need constant coaching and the coaching industry badly needs someone to define the profession. Four experts give their comments on a survey about coaching industry.
A Ram Charan
As the survey results demonstrate, what we think of coaching today is generally a service to middle managers provided by entrepreneurs with a background in consulting, psychology or human resources. This kind of coaching became popular over the past five years because companies faced a shortage of talent and were concerned about turnover among key employees. Firms wanted to signal their commitment to developing their high-potential executives, so they hired coaches. The kind of coaches I am talking about will do more than influence behaviour: they will be an essential part of the leader’s learning process, providing knowledge, opinions and judgment in critical areas.
B David B. Peterson
In the survey, only 3% of coaches said they were hired primarily to address non-work issues, yet more than three-quarters of coaches report having gotten into personal territories at some time. It underscores the fact that for most executives, work and life cannot be kept entirely separate. Many of them feel some strain on their personal lives. Not surprisingly, therefore, the more coaches can tap into a leader’s motivation to improve his or her home life, the greater and more lasting the impact of the coaching is likely to be at work.
C Michael Maccoby
The survey shows more than half of the coaches think their clients do not become overly dependent, which is, in my view, unrealistic. Coaches have an economic incentive to ignore the problem of dependency, creating a potential conflict of interest. It’s natural for them to want to expand their business, but the best coaches, like the best therapists, put their clients’ interests first. What this means for the companies is that before they hire a coach, they should ask him how he handles dependency in relationships.
D Anthony M. Grant
According to the majority of coaches in our survey, coaching differs dramatically from therapy. However, the notion that candidates for coaching are mentally robust flies in the face of academic research. I’m not suggesting most executives who engage coaching have mental health disorders. But some might, and coaching those who have unrecognised mental health problems can be counterproductive and even dangerous. Firms should require that coaches have some training in mental health issues—for example, an understanding of when to refer client to professional therapists for help. [br] The survey shows that many executive clients have consulted their coaches about personal affairs.
选项
答案 B
解析 题干意为：调查结果表明很多企业高管曾向培训师咨询过个人问题。B段指出…morethan three-quarters of coaches report having gotten into personal territories at sometime．即：超过四分之三的培训师说曾经介入到(客户的)个人生活领域。文中的“gotteninto personal territories”与题干中的“consulted…coaches about personal affairs”表意相吻合。
