A temporal multi-stakeholder perspective on the perceptions, expectations and experiences of coaching in a team context

Abstract

Concerted efforts have been made to define and distinguish coaching as an emerging discipline and profession to develop confidence in the potentiality of coaching. Multiple perspectives on coaching exist, which are influenced by perceptions, expectations and experiences of coaching. This article draws on an instrumental case study situated in a team context to offer a temporal, multi-stakeholder perspective on the perceptions, expectations and experiences of coaching, to contribute to understanding the relationship between coaching perspectives and engagement with the coaching process.
