However, to this date, the return on investment in coaching programs has not been determined, due to a lack of outcome research transcending anecdotal ´evidence.´ In this paper, the author discusses a new direction of coaching which could change the way in which we conceive of, and manage, human resources. He indicates the re-orientation that is required to enhance the effectiveness and legitimacy of executive coaching. In particular, he distinguishes general ROI from Coaching ROI (CROI), and define their relationship. Keywords:  coaching, ROI, return on investment, corporate coaching, middle management. http://www.merlot.org/merlot/viewMaterial.htm?id=285483 Survey, conducted jointly by La Piana Associates, Inc. and Fieldstone Alliance, of 322 consultants from around the U.S., asking them about their background, practice, affiliations, and professional development.
