ABSTRACT

In this fast-paced, complex and ever competitive world people need different and more individualised ways of supporting their needs and helping organisations change and adapt to the increasing pressures and constraints. As such, many organisations are incorporating coaching as a key to helping their employees to both grow and develop new ways of working and to help them, as individuals and collectively in organizations as a whole, to cope with the considerable changes which are impacting upon them. In order to better understand why this may be the case we need to understand the factors affecting organisations and the changes in leadership which are being demanded.
