Executive Coaching and its outcomes: What the research actually says
The latest executive coaching research
A number of new (2018) wide-ranging studies of executive coaching research have just been published. These include the first systematic review of executive coaching, which focuses on all the previous published research about executive coaching aims, methods and outcomes that has been published to date. The second research paper incorporated into this special report is a critical literary review of previous executive coaching research. As one would expect and hope, in many respects the findings overlap to a significant degree.
The aim of this report is to provide evidence-based practitioners with the best valid research evidence about executive coaching.

Executive coaching research is still considered to be in its infancy, in that, prior to 2000, there were only seven peer-reviewed academic research studies about the effectiveness of executive coaching. Since 2000, however, there has been a steady increase in research interest in this area. Once the study had eliminated the less valid and reliable studies (for example studies where the author of the study turned out to be the coach in question), they ended up with 110 peer-reviewed journal articles to analyse. Both studies found that the biggest problem with most research looking at executive coaching was a singular lack of research rigour and independence from the research subjects. Most published studies are by the actual coaches or coaching organisations and either lack objectivity or more sophisticated research methodology.
However this report looks at a systematic review and other new valid

Hospital Chains in the U.S. are especially mindful of the value of evidenced-based Executive Coaching for patient care. This article is far more valid than the research that major coaching organizations conduct on their own coaching model.
