Content

The main aim of this compendium is to pro-vide professional and ethical guidelines for practice, implementation, and performance measurement in coaching. This compendium embeds and explains coaching in a wider context with special emphasis on business related interaction. The guidelines shown provide a greater deal of transparency for all involved parties. They also help to improve professionalism, confirmability, and documen-tation in case of a dispute, and enhance the personal development and the ability to compete in the coaching trade.

The fully revised fourth edition broadens its view with special regard to the important developments of the last years: Coaching as an intra-organizational form and coaching in science and research.
