ABSTRACT
Executive coaching, as we have suggested in earlier chapters, can be a potent and effective intervention. Nevertheless, it is hardly a panacea. In chapter 4, we noted that while many executives are good candidates for executive coaching, others are not. There are a number of reasons why executives do not profit from coaching, which include organizational dynamics as well as insufficient motivation, psychopathology, and character issues. In such circumstances, other interventions such as executive consultation and executive psychotherapy may serve as useful and necessary adjuncts to executive coaching.
