Exploring coachable moments

Turner, Christina F. (2019) Exploring coachable moments. PhD thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Coaching is considered a desirable leadership style and organisations invest significant resources in training managers to be coaches. Yet research suggests that managers often do not demonstrate coaching behaviours when the opportunity arises. Through in-depth interviews with coaching managers, the coachable moment was explored as the gateway to an informal coaching conversation in the workplace. Propositions were developed in line with theorisation about managers adopting a risk assessment perspective to informal coaching when weighing up whether compliance with an organisational requirement to demonstrate coaching behaviours outweighed risks associated with giving negative feedback.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
