Creating a coaching culture through reflective practice to reduce organisational blame culture

This paper draws on the use of reflective practice interventions with senior managers and the extent to which reflective practice has enabled participants to contribute to the development of a coaching culture within their organisations. Results came from a hermeneutic study exploring the use of reflective practice with practitioners who had all completed a part time professional degree programme. The research evidenced that by engaging with reflective practice and creating a coaching culture, there was a reduction in blame culture and improved team learning and engagement.
