The Coaching Habit

Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever

Book • 1905

Author

Michael Bungay Stanier

In 'The Coaching Habit,' Michael Bungay Stanier provides a straightforward and effective approach to coaching.

Drawing on his extensive experience training managers worldwide, he introduces seven essential coaching questions designed to help managers unlock their team's potential.

These questions include the Kickstart Question, the AWE Question, the Lazy Question, the Strategic Question, the Focus Question, the Foundation Question, and the Learning Question.

The book emphasizes the importance of saying less and asking more, fostering a collaborative and empowering work environment.

It combines practical advice with research in neuroscience and behavioral economics, making coaching a daily, informal part of managerial work rather than a formal event.
