Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study investigates the impact of coaching on leadership development among faculty members in a higher education institution. Leadership coaching is a structured approach to developing leadership skills, enhancing self-awareness, and improving decision-making. It focuses on both personal and professional growth through guided mentoring and feedback. A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. A survey of 25 faculty members was conducted to gather quantitative data on their perceptions of coaching as a leadership development intervention. The results of the survey showed a significant positive correlation between coaching and leadership effectiveness, with participants reporting improved leadership skills and confidence. The qualitative data, collected through interviews with 5 faculty members, provided further insights into the coaching process and its impact on leadership development. The study's findings suggest that coaching is a valuable tool for leadership development and effectiveness among faculty members. The results of this study have implications for higher education institutions seeking to develop the leadership capacity of their faculty members to navigate the changes in the Education System effectively.
