From this article on Harvard Business Review:
A 10-Year Study Reveals What Great Executives Know and Do
Regarding coaching for CEOs, a concise perspective from Stanford:
Executive coaching survey 2013
''(..) nearly 100% of CEOs in the survey responded that they actually enjoy the process of receiving coaching and leadership advice (..)
Top areas that CEOs use coaching to improve. Sharing leadership and delegation, conflict management, team building, and mentoring. Bottom of the list: motivational skills, compassion/empathy, and persuasion skills. “A lot of people steer away from coaching some of the less tangible skills because they are uncomfortable with touching on these areas or really don’t have the capability to do it,” says Mr. Miles. “These skills are more nuanced and actually more difficult to coach because many people are more sensitive about these areas. However, when combined with the ‘harder’ skills, improving a CEO’s ability to motivate and inspire can really make a difference in his or her overall effectiveness.”''
