Christine Porter & W. David Rees

This article considers two models that could potentially be useful to coaching psychologists as they seek to help clients identify their organisation roles and their willingness and ability to carry out such roles. The first model considered is that of the Managerial Escalator which seeks to help individual employees identify and cope with their likely accumulation of managerial responsibilities, particularly dealing with the managerial gap. The second, and linked, model is that of role set analysis. This is a particularly effective technique to help clients identify their evolving role and priorities.

Keywords: Managerial Gap; Coaching; Supervisory; Managerial Escalator; Hybrid managers; Leadership; Role models; Role Set Analysis; Evaluation.
