Abstract
Purpose This paper aims to review the latest management developments across the globe and pinpoint practical implications from cutting-edge research and case studies. Design/methodology/approach This briefing is prepared by an independent writer who adds their own impartial comments and places the articles in context. Findings This study lifts the lid on the practices of leadership development coaches, surrounding whether coaches completing an after-event review (AER) after each session with manager coachees creates better leadership flexibility results throughout the coaching journey. It transpired that leadership flexibility did increase under this AER coaching approach, in the forcing-enabling leadership dimension rather than in the strategic-operational leadership dimension. Leadership flexibility did also drive team vitality and performance. The authors recommend that coaches aren't too directive with their feedback, to avoid taking away the coachee manager's ownership of actively setting and pursuing their own professional goals. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives, strategists and researchers hours of reading time by selecting only the very best, most pertinent information and presenting it in a condensed and easy-to-digest format.
