Task 3 – Exam Questions
1. Evaluate the literature review conducted for this research article.
The style of author to write literature review has been of mixed type. It has been observed meta-analysis have been done in some of the areas while aspects of meta synthesis has also been used. This can be seen when the author mentions about the figures of ROI of leadership coaching and h
ow does it affect the outcome of doing it. Also, in case of identifying how much percentage of increase in productivity has happened due to implementation of leadership coaching figures are mentioned in percentage form. The author has not kept limited to using statistical methods but also made of multiple qualitative studies which can be used for integrating, evaluating and interpreting the findings for the report.
By providing the names of the database searched the author has given opportunity for readers to reproduce similar results. The name of the database that has been mentioned is PsycINFO with date which gives idea of search strategy followed by the author. The author has divided the literature review section into four parts discussing about various topics which have been used in report. Initially discussion has been done about how various researchers have given their perspective on leadership coaching and executive coaching. But due to use of direct manner in addressing the leadership effectiveness, leadership coaching has been used. Author has taken use of various academic sources related to leadership coaching to understand its unique nature, how it benefits the leader after using it and how self-efficacy is affecting these coaching sessions.

This provides clarity on the method chosen and justifies the purpose in the report. The author has been able to find limited reports on formative, summative evaluation and valuable leadership development tool which might give a limited perspective towards the topic. Overall the approach of author has been seen to stay away from taking any bias and explore the two sides of research done in regard to the topic. Methods like qualitative and quantitative has been considered to ensure best results are fetched in the final result.
1. Are the methods used to collect data (e.g. focus group and questionnaires) sufficiently justified and described? What further information (if any) do you require?
