The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More, and Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier

The Coaching Habit is a practical leadership and management book from Canada that teaches leaders, managers, entrepreneurs, and team supervisors how to become more effective by asking better questions instead of constantly giving advice.

Michael Bungay Stanier argues that many leaders fall into the habit of solving every problem themselves, creating dependency within their teams.

Through seven powerful coaching questions, he shows how managers can empower employees to think independently, take ownership, and develop problem-solving skills.

Written in a conversational and highly actionable style, the book provides simple coaching techniques that can be applied immediately in the workplace, helping leaders improve communication, productivity, employee engagement, and long-term team performance.
