The Relative Effectiveness of External, Peer, and Self‐Coaches

Sue-Chan, Latham, 2004

Short summary: This article extensively reports on two surveys on two different continents (Canada, Australia) among MBA students (including managers). The relative effectiveness of external, peer, and self-coaching in this setting was investigated. The outcome was that external coaching turned out to be more effective than peer and self-coaching. Interestingly, participating managers found self-coaching to be more effective than peer coaching. The researchers state that the results provide strong empirical indications for the greater effectiveness of external coaching.
