Abstract

Executive coaching is becoming more and more well-liked as a strategy for talent development as the company environment becomes more complex. In the past, coaching was seen to be a solution for behavioural issues. As more and more organisations become aware of the beneficial effects coaching has on leadership performance, they are beginning to shift their perspectives. Executive coaching is a focused strategy that can greatly impact individual development and business performance. Higher profitability, fewer costs, and improved engagement and productivity are all components of organisational ROI. Coaching also improves alignment with the organisation's vision and values and builds leaders' emotional intelligence, a crucial performance driver. According to estimates, the executive training industry is a multi-billion-dollar business, with some institutions charging up to $15,000 a day. According to reports, the second fastest expanding industry is executive coaching. More randomised controlled trials are required since, despite these startling figures, still lacking actual studies on executive coaching. . High-quality research is primarily necessary to highlight the advantages of executive coaching and to support the level of commitment required. The impact of executive coaching on leadership at Telefonica will be examined in this dissertation, which will also study the significance of executive coaching for leadership and leadership competence. Overall, this research program has shown that executive mentoring can promote leadership growth. According to the studies, executive coaching improved the psychological states of self-efficacy, developmental support, positive affect, openness to trying new behaviours, and developmental planning. The findings were equally impressive in that they revealed that executive coaching had long-lasting benefits on several psychological states as well as team members' judgments of their leader's leadership style.
