Question:

Can executive coaching help improve business meeting effectiveness? This was the question of interest in an article published in Consulting Psychology Journal: Practice and Research (Vol. 61, 2009). The goal of executive coaching is to reduce content behaviors (e.g., seeking information, disagreeing/attacking) in favor of process behaviors (e.g., asking clarifying questions, summarizing). The study reported that prior to receiving executive coaching, the percentage of observed content behaviors of leaders had a mean of 75% with a standard deviation of 8.5%. In contrast, after receiving executive coaching, the percentage of observed content behaviors of leaders had a mean of 52% with a standard deviation of 7.5%. Assume that the percentage of observed content behaviors is approximately normally distributed for both leaders with and without executive coaching. Suppose you observe 70% content behaviors by the leader of a business meeting. Give your opinion on whether or not the leader has received executive coaching.
