Theoretical Background of Coaching Leadership

Theoretical Background of Coaching Leadership

This study is about the theoretical background of leadership in coaching leadership. After looking at the theory of coaching and the theory of leadership, I tried to see the relationship between leadership theory and coaching. Coaching theory first looked at sports coaching, organization coaching, and private coaching. Leadership theory is divided into traditional leadership and transformational leadership. Traditional leadership has looked at characteristic theory, behavioral theory, situational theory, and goal-path theory. Traditional leadership theory has been the theory of characterizing leaders. I also saw a transformational leadership theory that was different from the traditional leadership theory. Transformational leadership theory is a way of looking at the direction of a leader. And I looked at the relationship between leadership theory and coaching. Coaching leadership was seen in two directions: guiding coaching and sponsoring coaching. Guiding coaching is a coach-driven coaching approach and sponsoring coaching is a customer-centric coaching approach. The two directions of coaching leadership also relate to leadership theory. From the content of the theory, traditional leadership theory is related to guiding coaching, and sponsoring coaching is related to sponsoring coaching.
