Shutterstock.com/Rawpixel.com Infographic: Managers and Leaders Using Coaching Skills Last year, ICF partnered with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to conduct the survey that formed the building blocks of the forthcoming 2016 ICF Global Coaching Study. The 2015 survey had a record-breaking 15,380 responses from 137 countries. It also differed from other iterations of the survey in that it included specific questions for managers and leaders (including human resources and talent development managers) who use coaching skills in their workplace interactions. Although these individuals aren’t coach practitioners by definition, they play an increasingly important role in the organizational coaching space.
