Intimacy

Some elements of executive coaching are very similar to the CEO’s own appraisal. Certainly we can touch the same levels of intimacy. Is 'intimacy' the right word?

Well development points from an appraisal for anyone can involve discussion around ‘thinking’ and ‘intelligence’, how we use our time, how we use our energy, even aspects of our personality. Development points can include aspects of technical competence, the skills and knowledge required to do the job.

We can and do talk about everything and anything that could affect the organisation.

And what is the most common development point that has arisen from hundreds of executive appraisals I have conducted? It concerns ‘behaviour’.

That is why ‘intimacy’ is the right word.
