Abstract

This paper examines the concept of incremental improved performance and applies it to the field of executive coaching. The effectiveness of coaching as a management development tool is assessed by means of a survey involving 25 senior executives of blue‐chip organisations. The paper emphasises that the higher up the skill hierarchy one goes, the more important marginal improvements in performance become.
