While HRD focuses on the future potential of employees and tries to develop such potential, often through programs administered to groups of employees, coaching focuses on the current interests and competencies of individual employees, and tries to develop them further through personalised attention. In other words, coaching is a process of developing the strengths of an employee and guiding him or her in the direction in which he or she is already moving, whereas training attempts to develop those skills perceived necessary for job performance. As coaching addresses the individual-specific needs in a particular context, an important component of it is the data-based feedback loop, and its effectiveness depends on the right combination of employee, coach and situation (Hollenbeck, 2002).
