In continuing to address the challenges of expertise faced by contemporary leaders and their coaches, we first offer an essay written by one of us, as guest editor [KW], that concerns the disturbing fact that experts are fallible, and leaders are often mis-informed or in some cases blatantly ignorant on certain topics they may weigh in on. He writes about ways in which coaches can help leaders overcome ignorance, hubris, and blind spots while becoming more self-aware:

We next provide two sets of essays offered by the second editor [WB] that looks at the crisis of expertise (And blind spots) from several different vantage points.

Several of these essays were published previously in the Library of Professional Coaching. They concern important elements regarding the nature of expertise and the contemporary crisis associated with expertise.

One of these essays focuses on the diffusion of innovation and its implications for the practice of professional coaching:

The second of these essays concerns the nature of research and evidence (in this case, specifically evidence regarding the effectiveness of professional coaching):
