Executive coaching is the delivery of structured one-to-one support, usually by conversation, by professional executive coaches to enable leaders to achieve specific organisational or leadership objectives over a defined period; and it closes the gap between potential and performance and enables the individual to optimise their contribution to the organisation.

This publication presents the case of a leading African financial services firm, CBA, that has made the strategic decision to invest intentionally in the development of a coaching culture. CBA’s leadership is determined that a culture of employee engagement, empowerment and the use of coaching in leadership and management will enhance employee productivity and contribute to business performance.
