Abstract

This chapter explores critical viewpoints that go beyond traditional ideas of coaching and leadership, highlighting the need for a more in-depth analysis of power relations, cultural contexts, moral issues, and broader social ramifications. Cultural and social contexts are scrutinized, revealing the impact of diverse backgrounds on coaching and leadership practices. The chapter advocates for research and evidence-based practices, underlining the importance of informed decision-making in the dynamic field of coaching and leadership. Critical viewpoints also highlight how coaching, and leadership can act as catalysts for transformational change and tools for resistance against oppressive systems. To challenge conventional hierarchies and advance more equitable structures, alternative coaching and leadership models that place an emphasis on collaboration, inclusivity, and ethical responsibility are investigated. The chapter promotes rigorous assessment and ongoing research while highlighting the value of research and evidence-based coaching and leadership practices.
