1. Evaluate the literature review conducted for this research article.
The literature review was done for prioritising on the leadership coaching, efficiency of the
roles of leaders and trust in the subordinates and employees. It focused on the assessment of
leadership coaching and its utilisation as a major leadership development tool to improve the
coordination among staffs and business effectiveness. The leadership development interventions
have assisted in establishing a sense of trust and loyalty among the subordinates and kept them
motivated and encouraged to perform to their potential as well. Robertson (2016) stated that
leadership coaching helps in maintaining the efficiency of the roles of leaders. It has also helped
in creating scopes for the leaders to promote teamwork, communication and coordination among
the employees. The leadership coaching enabled coaching or training the leaders, executives and
managers of the organisations and making them competent enough to lead the staffs in the right
direction as well as reduce chances of mental stress, lack of health and well being and depression
faced by people within the workplace. Likewise, Ladegard and Gjerde (2013) stated that
development of leadership through coaching is aimed at guiding the staffs in the right direction
and thereby take steps to ensure the fair return on investments through the smooth performance
of the workforce. Robertson (2016) stated that leadership coaching helps in maintaining the
different standards of the changes in the organizational performance. Based on various figures
and tables, records show that with the support of leadership coaching, the return on investments
is more than 500 percent and is one of the major reasons due to which, the staffs of the
companies have gained trust on the leaders. The leadership coaching has allowed the managers
and leaders to work as a role model for them and kept the staffs motivated and encouraged to
perform to their potential and achieve the desired business outcomes.
