title: Professional coaching as an effective strategy to retaining frontline managers.
abstract: Historically, executive coaching has been reserved only for the c-suite in healthcare organizations. Expanding this resource to directors and managers has been assumed to be cost-prohibitive. The authors describe an intervention whereby executive coaching was expanded beyond the c-suite, during a critical transition time for the organization in an attempt to positively impact management turnover, staff turnover, and employee satisfaction.
