Abstract

The “ art ” of coaching at the top is considered metaphorically and discussed in this article as a co-creation between client and coach. This co-creation is catalyzed by the client ’ s self-imagery — explicit and highly visual imagery — of how they see themselves as leaders at the beginning, midway, and at the end of coaching. The evocation of this self-imagery is a foundational act at the outset of a coaching engagement and is accomplished by the coach ’ s use of a speci fi c technique, the visual leadership metaphor (VLM). With the use of this technique, client and coach get rapidly aligned in the identi fi cation of client-centered thematic material that not only informs the course of the coaching but also intensi fi es the quality of their connection and ensures traction toward achieving the client ’ s growth objective as a leader. Based on the author ’ s analysis of 180 VLMs, eight overarching coaching themes are identi fi ed. These eight themes and a description of the speci fi c coaching tools used are also provided. Important research questions are raised, and practitioners may fi nd value in considering this conceptualization of co-creation; in doing so, they may evolve their own art in the coaching of top business leaders.
高层高管培训的“艺术”:利用客户的自我形象作为提高影响力的工具。
高层教练的“艺术”被认为是隐喻性的,本文讨论的是客户和教练之间的共同创造。这种共同创造是由客户的自我意象催化的——明确的和高度视觉化的意象——他们如何在开始、中途和教练结束时将自己视为领导者。这种自我意象的唤起是教练参与的一开始的基本行为,并且通过教练使用一种特定的技术来完成,即视觉领导隐喻(VLM)。通过使用这种技术,客户和教练在确定以客户为中心的主题材料方面迅速达成一致,这不仅通知了培训的过程,而且加强了他们之间联系的质量,并确保了客户作为领导者实现成长目标的吸引力。基于作者对180个vlm的分析,确定了8个总体指导主题,并提供了这8个主题以及所使用的具体指导工具的描述。提出了重要的研究问题,从业者可能会发现考虑这种共同创造概念的价值;在这样做的过程中,他们可能会在指导顶级商业领袖方面发展出自己的艺术。
