Summary:

This case describes the situation of a coach confronted with a complex ethical dilemma emerging from concern for a client's well-being. The case raises the issue of duty of care in executive coaching and the coach's role in contracting, maintaining confidentiality, and managing professional boundaries with stakeholders. The case outlines a critical situation involving an executive coach, their client, the customer and sponsor, and the coach supervisor. The coach has a strong working relationship with a prestigious customer and is invited to take on a coaching assignment with a newly promoted leader. During the coaching sessions, the leader expresses dissatisfaction, work-related pressures, and negative personal impact. Over a period of time, the coach develops concern for the client's well-being and finds himself in an ethical dilemma as he considers whether to break confidentiality and inform the organisation. The coach seeks advice from his coach supervisor on how to handle the situation. The case is structured to enable individual reflection, group discussion, and role play. Students will be asked to examine systemic challenges associated with duty of care in executive coaching, assess ethical and legal responsibilities of coaching, and explore informed decision making as part of duty of care.
