Abstract
Every coach is an organisation coach. All coaching described in this book is coaching not only of a coachee, but also of an organisation, because the coachee’s organisation is present in and through every coachee. This is the main difference between coaching and psychotherapy: coaching is work- and organisation-oriented, while therapy is more remote from the working organisation — the organisation being only one dominant system of which the coachee forms part.
