In The Coaching Approach: A Key Tool for Successful Managers, ATD Research examines the use of coaching as a managerial tool, and provides insight on how learning leaders can more effectively develop and sustain successful coaching programs. This excerpt from the report provides a picture of the current status of coaching in organizations. For example, although coaching is a powerful tool, study data uncovered that only about one-quarter of organizations heavily incorporate it in their talent development portfolio.  You can download an infographic for an overview of the study data. Data from the study is explained in further detail in the full report, available for purchase online. ATD members have complimentary access to the whitepaper version of the report.
