Intentional change theory, coaching and leader effectiveness

(2018) Intentional change theory, coaching and leader effectiveness. Masters by Research thesis, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

This thesis uses mixed methods to explore how coaching informed by Intentional Change Theory Theory (ICT) (Boyatzis, 2006, 2008) can enhance leader effectiveness. With underpinnings in complexity theory, ICT is proposed as an evidence-based framework to guide the coaching, rendering it well-matched to the demands of the current complex environment in which leaders operate. Results indicate that coaching contributes to the development of inner resources such as self-efficacy, self-awareness, and psychological capital, and that an appetite for reflection, and increasing comfort with ambiguity and feelings of vulnerability are important for leader effectiveness, and can be enhanced through coaching.
