There are many criticisms of "coaching", at least among French books and blogs. Authors like Vincent de Gaulejac (Qui est "je"?, La société malade de la gestion, Le coût de l'excellence), Roland Gori and Pierre Le Coz (L'empire des coachs), Michela Marzano (Extension du domaine de la manipulation)  or Geneviève Guilhaume (L'ère du coaching) are leading the way. In the blogoshpere, Professor F. Mispelblom Beyer gives an interesting overview of these criticisms. In a short essay, Stéphane Haefliger summarises two important criticisms: the invasion of privacy, and the ignorance of the systemic dimension of performance.

I am not easily finding the equivalent in US litterature and blogosphere. It may be that I am not looking at the right place, or that coaching is more entrenched into US culture.
