| Résumé : |
If coaching is now becoming a well-known and respected method of accompanying managers, and more and more often recommended in companies, it is the since the year 2000 that the profession, which first saw the light of day in France in the 1990’s, has earned its laurels. Even if there has been a rapid increase in the number of short publications or more encyclopaedic works produced by academics and professionals concerned to clarify the pedagogic aspects of coaching, the knowledge and understanding of it, which are becoming more widespread, reveal pressures and tensions, coming from different quarters, which are not easy to reconcile. This brings the risk that the definitions and practices of coaching will become stale and lend themselves at times to caricature. On the one hand the practitioners, mainly through their professional organisations, feel that they have defined the ethical and regulatory parameters of coaching, which has henceforth reached a level of maturity. On the other hand a survey of literature in French reveals that a number of disciplines provide sustenance for research into coaching in companies: a psychological and psycho-sociological basis, leaning towards personal development and behavioural learning; a more or less alarmist and hostile sociological critique; an anthropological and philosophical position, in search of relationships and meaning; and finally management literature which suggests that management is concerned to formalize a new instrument of human resources management and harness it to the service of managerial and corporate performance. This discordant babel calls for an explanation of the term ‘traverses of coaching’, in terms of the three semantic definitions of the word traverses: traverses in the sense of supports and foundations, traverses in its meaning of un-trodden or emerging side-paths, and finally traverses as pitfalls or obstacles yet to be identified. |
