RESUMO

The professional profile currently expected from executives in business organizations is not the same of many years ago. Executive coaching is being used by organizations as a tool to help their executives to adapt more efficaciously to the new challenges imposed by globalization. The executive coaching program is based on the evaluation of the individuals performance and his or her difficult to deal with the organizations demands, to help the executives to deal with the development of new competences in reaching the organizational goals. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of a program of executive coaching. The sample was constituted by ten executives, from different companies located in the metropolitan area of Campinas, whose directors spontaneously looked for the coaching program for their employees; the researcher in her private professional practice developed this coaching program. Evaluations were accomplished at the beginning and at end of the processes and changes were clinically evaluated. The following instruments were employed: EDAO - Operational Scale for Diagnosis of Adaptation, designed to be a measure of the adaptive efficacy; EEM Stage of Change Scale, measures the level of readiness for change: PPA - Personal Profile Analysis, designed to evaluate the individuals predominant or characteristic behavior and AAD Performance Self-Analysis designed to identify the efforts accomplished by the executive concerning the feedback he or she has received from his or her partners and/or chiefs. The last two instruments are usually employed in the researcher s professional practice. Results suggested that the coaching program is efficient in promoting the individuals development as well as new personal competences to reach the organizational goals. It was observed that some profiles added to the management conditions that the executive is submitted in his/her work environment, they can generate inappropriate performance. The study limits are the restricted sample and the researcher herself had accomplished the meetings. New studies can include the executive s follow up after the program, to verify his/her stability and the consolidation of the new developed behaviors.
