Investigating the role of the active ingredients in executive coaching
Coaching Jounral

Several factors termed the active ingredients have been shown to play a major role
in the success of psychotherapy. These ingredients have been theoretically
extended to executive coaching but the impact of these ingredients on coaching
success has not yet been tested. This study examined the effects of three active
ingredients on competency change in 30 coaching engagements. The results
suggest that executive involvement perceptions of developability and individual
development plans are related to coaching success. Specifically executives rated
higher on these components indicated a greater degree of competency change.
This study provides support for the use of the active ingredients framework within
executive coaching engagements suggests areas for future research and offers
recommendations for practicing coaches.
