Coaching company leaders requires a good command of a wide range of tools and techniques at the following four levels of skills:

- Strategical skills: I primarily rely upon E. Berne's organisational theory for it provides a remarkably complete and well articulated dashboard that includes all key aspects a leader must manage: environment, strategy, activity and group processes, organisational and individual structures, socio-psychological aspects of groups, cultural aspects, styles and levels of leadership, group apparatus, functioning and amending rules, etc.

- Management skills: Levels of management, regulation, functioning rules, meeting conduct, delegation, time structuration, leadership, strokes, border management, etc.

- Interpersonal skills: Reference frames, communication channels, psychological and power games, symbiotic relationships, contaminations, simple and double transactions, parallel and crossed transactions, etc.

- Personal skills: Types of personality, psychological needs, ego states, life positions, "driver" behaviours, stress sequencess, alignment process, mourning process, etc.
