ABSTRACT

The rapid growth of coaching practices has outpaced the current best-practice empirical research and created a difficult landscape to navigate for coaches and consumers alike. To overcome these challenges the present study proposed to employ the neuro-screening measure to develop and monitor an individually tailored coaching intervention for training senior-managers’ inspirational leadership. We have used the quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) screening to build the individual profiles of every coachee to assess their baseline (trait) characteristics in order to develop the coaching interventions to enhance effective and minimise ineffective behaviour. The qEEG-screening profile resulted in nine metrics characterising different traits and features of every coachee. Based on these profiles individualised 4-month coaching programmes were suggested to coachees. The results indicated that participation in the individually designed 4-month coaching programme was associated with significant improvement (70.7%) or optimisation (55.6%) of metrics in the 71.7% of coachees. This was paralleled by reduced scores in independent Beck Anxiety Inventory and Beck Depression Inventory scales. We concluded that the employment of qEEG-screening profiling allows coaches and trainers to assess deep dynamic neurological mechanisms that underpin baseline traits and features essential for effective, flexible and sustainable leadership, as well as track their development over time.

摘要

教练实践的快速增长已经超过了当前最佳实践的经验研究，并为教练和消费者创造了难以驾驭的局面。为了克服这些挑战，本研究提出采用神经筛查措施来开发和监视个性化的教练干预措施，以培训高级管理人员的鼓舞性领导才能。我们已经使用定量脑电图（qEEG）筛选来建立每个受训者的个人资料，以评估他们的基线（特征）特征，以便制定出有助于改善有效行为并最小化无效行为的干预措施。qEEG筛查资料产生了九个指标，分别表征了每个受训者的不同特征和特点。根据这些资料，向学员建议了为期4个月的个性化教练计划。结果表明，参与单独设计的4个月教练计划与71.7％的受训者指标的显着改善（70.7％）或优化（55.6％）相关。与此同时，独立的贝克焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表的得分降低。我们得出的结论是，使用qEEG筛查配置文件可使教练和培训者评估深层的动态神经系统机制，这些机制支持基线特征和有效，灵活和可持续领导力所必需的基本特征，并跟踪其随着时间的发展。结果表明，参与单独设计的4个月教练计划与71.7％的受训者指标的显着改善（70.7％）或优化（55.6％）相关。与此同时，独立的贝克焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表的得分降低。我们得出的结论是，使用qEEG筛查配置文件可使教练和培训者评估深层的动态神经系统机制，这些机制支持基线特征和有效，灵活和可持续领导力所必需的基本特征，并跟踪其随着时间的发展。结果表明，参与单独设计的4个月教练计划与71.7％的受训者指标的显着改善（70.7％）或优化（55.6％）相关。与此同时，独立的贝克焦虑量表和贝克抑郁量表的得分降低。我们得出的结论是，使用qEEG筛查配置文件可使教练和培训者评估深层的动态神经系统机制，这些机制支持基线特征和有效，灵活和可持续领导力所必需的基本特征，并跟踪其随着时间的发展。
