The Coaching Habit – Michael Bungay Stanier

[Anonymous]

This book almost seems too simple. For the busy leaders we work with who can get overwhelmed with all of the information on coaching and leadership, this book is a great start into switching communication style and “purpose” as a leader from managerial to coaching. The basis is seven questions to use in conversations with employees, colleagues, even friends that allows space for self reflection and discovery. It is written for the time crunched person and can be implemented right away into one’s daily relationships. I have recommended to people who struggle with communicating, especially those who are solution driven…following the steps in the book allow for a very simple and natural way to engage in a supportive conversation through questions, but also allows the space to participate in the conversation, not simply firing off questions.
