Keywords:

When we hear the term ‘coaching’, the immediate thought that comes in our mind is either it must be related to academics or must be to some sports. Let’s say, it is something related to academics or sports. The Oxford dictionary of English defines a ‘coach’ as an ‘instructor’ or ‘trainer’ in context of sports and as a ‘private tutor’ in context of academics. Coaching is defined normally as a more specialized form of training. But what is coaching when it comes to business executives in organizations? Does it involve the same kind of specialized training? Is it a training activity in the first place, or something more? The answer to such questions will come when we try to understand executive coaching process. This particular study tries to understand coaching, few coaching models that are practiced in business organizations and also tries to bring out an Indian perspective of coaching.
