"Coaching is an art and it's far easier said than done. It takes courage to ask a question rather than offer up advice, provide and answer, or unleash a solution. giving another person the opportunity to find their own way, make their own mistakes, and create their own wisdom is both brave and vulnerable. In this practical and inspiring book, Michael shares seven transformative questions that can make a difference in how we lead and support. And he guides us through the tricky part - how to take this new information and turn it into habits and a daily practice." --Brené Brown, author of Rising Strong and Daring Greatly

"What can you do to become a better leader? Michael asks and answers this question by offering aspiring leaders seven thoughtful questions that will change their leadership habits. This book is full of practical,useful and interesting questions, ideas and tools that will guide any leader trying to be better."
--Dave Ulrich, co-author of The Why of Work and The Leadership Code

Title: This book will transform your team, your org, and you!
Review: I bought and read this book 2 years ago and it hasn't left my side since. "The Coaching Habit" by Michael Bungay Stanier offers a refreshing perspective on leadership and coaching. Recommended by a colleague in the coaching field, this book provides valuable insights for professionals seeking to enhance their leadership skills.Stanier's approach centers on seven essential coaching questions, a seemingly straightforward concept that proves remarkably powerful in practice. The third question, "What's the real challenge here for you?" stands out as particularly impactful. It serves as a crucial reminder that surface issues often mask deeper challenges, encouraging coaches to delve beyond initial presentations.The book's principles demonstrate impressive versatility. I've coached senior executuves all over the world, appling Stanier's methods across diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. The results were consistently positive, yielding customized, impactful coaching conversations that transcended cultural and experiential differences."The Coaching Habit" reinforces the fundamental importance of asking insightful questions and listening attentively to responses. It also provides the framework to pose more challenging, tactical questions such as, "If you say yes to this, what are you saying no to?" This approach often leads to significant breakthroughs in coaching sessions.The book's teachings are widely applicable, benefiting anyone in a leadership role or those who regularly interact with others in professional settings. Stanier's writing style, while professional, remains engaging and accessible.For both experienced coaches and those new to leadership roles, "The Coaching Habit" offers fresh perspectives that can significantly impact professional interactions and leadership effectiveness. It's a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their coaching skills and, by extension, their professional relationships and outcomes.

Title: Exceptional Resource - A 'Must Read' for Any Leader
Review: I originally ordered/received this book in January 2019. Despite best intentions, it landed on a shelf amidst other management style self-help type books (so many out there)….many purchased with those same best intentions only to languish on that shelf. But ‘finding the time’ to actually read them(???), ever the challenge.That time recently manifested while between professional opportunities after deciding to walk away from a new but unfortunate, short-lived endeavor out of a 30-year career in leadership. In my effort to stay relevant, bolster skills and continue growing, I turned attention to those well intended books, consuming one or more daily. Besides, there are only so many cabinets, drawers and closets that I could reorganize in my house…it was time for some dedicated professional reading unlike rushed or half-hearted past efforts.Apart from a great opportunity in self-development and reminder to do a better job ‘making’ versus ‘finding’ time going forward, The Coaching Habit was a true delight and page turner. He basically had me at ‘stop working so hard’. I finished it in a few hours.It read easily with simple, straight-forward concepts and language. And, the content is well-organized into a logical flow of material and those chapters in delivering the information. I was encouraged and remained engaged in that the concepts were (1) not overly basic or elementary, (2) not unrealistic or off point, (3) not cliché, too cutesy, ‘hokey’ or preachy, and (4) not lost or overburdened amidst repetition, storytelling or humor. All while packaged in a clean, simple format, which flowed easily and was attractive aesthetically, free of overfilled, text laden pages or in smaller font (important for some of us).Michael Bungay Stanier seamlessly correlates familiar workplace challenges and offers those in absorbable, useful bite-sized chunks with practical, specific approaches to counter or corral those and bring success. His delivery is very ‘real’, pragmatic and resourceful. It was especially insightful to distinguish between coaching for performance versus coaching for development. His recognition of best intentions from The Advice Monster and roles within the Drama Triangle offered keen insights and perspective, including how these trip us up in our professional (or personal) relationships – most importantly how to increase self-awareness and better self-manage those.The Coaching Habit references multiple other helpful resources, including credible recommendations for related literature or publications (appreciating the author’s including those, making them pertinent, sharing his observations and/or quoting specific items). I’ve ordered a few of those, which will not land on my shelf this time. The author is exceptionally well read in the genre, indicating he reads an estimated 100 business books a year. I’ve joined his LinkedIn group and downloaded a couple of goodies (via link) included among the book as well. I highly recommend The Coaching Habit.

Review: Gut strukturiert und mit viel Selbstbewusstsein geschrieben, präsentiert der Autor seine 7 essenziellen Coaching-Fragen. Die Fragen eignen sich theoretisch, um durch eine gesamte Konversation zu führen und sind deshalb auch sehr gut geeignet, locker zum jeweils richtigen Zeitpunkt in einer beliebigen Unterhaltung eingeflochten zu werden. Ein guter Einstieg in eine weniger beratende und mehr fragend-befähigenden Haltung.Definitive Empfehlung.
