The study presents executive coaching as a tool for the covert evaluation of trainees. The research was based on an analysis of 79 transcripts from coaching sessions involving middle managers, their supervisors, and HR managers across eight organizations in Israel, focusing on exploring their perceptions of this issue. The findings indicate the strength of coaching as a practice for organizational performance evaluation, as well as the constraints under which the coaching process takes place. In the discussion, the findings are conceptualized from an organizational power relations perspective, and their potential implications are addressed.
