| Summary: | Authentic leadership encompasses four dimensions crucial for the success of leadership: self-awareness, relational transparency, balanced processing and internalised moral perspective. In the context of Business Coaching, authentic leadership is a crucial factor in the coach–client relationship in which the leader demonstrates to others a genuine and honest desire to understand their leadership in order to serve others more effectively. The current study investigated the relationship between leadership style and coaching effectiveness among 96 business coaches from the Professional Business Coaches Alliance (PBCA). Study results indicate authentic leadership and its constitutive factor self-awareness were significantly related to coaching effectiveness. Coaching organisations, franchises and alliances, may benefit from this research if they wish to leverage higher levels of authentic leadership and self-awareness when developing selection, assessment, training and measurement systems. |
