ABSTRACT
Having set the business context, this chapter explores the individual leadership competencies of Elliot Jaques and Stephen Clement and how those competencies could help an executive cope with managerial complexity. It provides a discussion on a meta-theoretical model and a theoretical executive coaching model. The Integrated Experiential Coaching Model is about working with the executive or senior manager's behavioural and intentional content within the context of the social and cultural in which they operate. In the Integrated Experiential Coaching Model, executive coaching is therefore about facilitating integrated experiential learning in individuals in order to enhance personal growth and development with the aim of improving individual and organizational performance. Executive work is about strategy formulation and implementation. Strategy formulation has always depended on making certain assumptions in very complex and uncertain environments, and given the reality of the business environment it will stay that way.
