This paper explores the growing practice of managerial coaching. Much of the coaching literature is set in the context of an external coach coming into an organisation. However managers are increasingly being expected to coach their employees, a change in role which can create tensions. This paper examines the literature on coaching managers and identifies key differences in the issues faced by...

The 15-minute visit does not allow the physician sufficient time to provide the variety of services expected of primary care. A teamlet (little team) model of care is proposed to extend the 15-minute physician visit. The teamlet consists of 1 clinician and 2 health coaches. A clinical encounter includes 4 parts: a previsit by the coach, a visit by the clinician together with the coach, a postvi...

The aim of present study was to analyse how decision and planning styles of a coach are influenced by intrinsic variables: age, gender and experience of the coach, and by extrinsic variables: gender, age and competitive level of the teams trained. The investigation carried out focuses on the analysis of the characteristics of the coach and a number of actions linked to coaching, specifically de...

OBJECTIVE To identify genetic causes of COACH syndrome BACKGROUND COACH syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by Cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, Oligophrenia (developmental delay/mental retardation), Ataxia, Coloboma, and Hepatic fibrosis. The vermis hypoplasia falls in a spectrum of mid-hindbrain malformation called the molar tooth sign (MTS), making COACH a Joubert syn...

Phil Jackson is without doubt my own favourite sports coach. In this article I hope to encapsulate the essence of his coaching philosophy and practices, and some of the personal qualities that I believe set him apart from other coaches. But fir...

Social interactions with others such as mentors, colleagues, and athletes made major contr...

Research on coaching (Bartholomew, Ntoumanis, & Thøgersen-Ntoumani, 2009) has shown that coaches can display controlling behaviors that have detrimental effects on athletes' basic psychological needs and quality of sport experiences. The current study extends this literature by considering coach narcissism as a potential antecedent of coaches' controlling behaviors. Further, the study tests a m...

Protein complexes are responsible for most of vital biological processes within the cell. Understanding the machinery behind these biological processes requires detection and analysis of complexes and their constituent proteins. A wealth of computational approaches towards detection of complexes deal with clustering of protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. Among these clustering approache...
