Thomas Berntien: Just love this book. I still have hard time to make the coaching habit a second nature but the structure is easy to remember and when I stick to it it helps me understanding ans my team members benefit so much

Joss Smith: i like almost all the recommendations in this book and in addition to putting this into practice myself, intend to suggest it to people at work who are struggling to adopt more coach-like leadership behaviours.
only part that seemed out of alignment was the detail of the strategy question. maybe it will sit better on a second read and yes, i will be reading this book again to help cement the learnings.

Stephen W Floyd: I still love the audible version but will likely buy a digital copy so I can highlight specific areas. Highly recommend for anyone who is in management and needs to coach people up.

Thomas R: Very practical and well-written, M. B. Stanier’s book helps us reflect on how to tame the « advice-giving monster » that operates inside of us!

CooktheCuriousCooktheCurious: This book changed my entire approach to supporting direct reports in the most refreshing way. The author offers a comprehensive exploration of coaching principles and practices, with each chapter filled with actionable and tactical strategies backed by real-world experience that breathes life into the theoretical concepts we often get buried in.
The way it distills complex coaching theories into practical, applicable techniques is so easily consumable even for a busy professional. Whether you're a seasoned coach or just starting out as a people manager, you'll find invaluable insights that can be immediately implemented in your practice.
I find myself looking back to it often and years later, I still use these questions daily. Highly recommend.

David W.: The subtitle of the book is "Say less, ask more & change the way you lead forever". Couple that with "Listen more and talk less, your advice isn't as good as you think it is" and...I just saved you however much this is going for.
It has examples that drive the point home, but the point is really in those two sentences. Don't get caught up in your own press, learn how to coach rather than direct.
Good enough for what it is, but don't feel like reading a book is going to change how you lead unless you are already leaning this direction already.

John W. Pearson: Oh, my.
MEMO TO EVERY PERSON I’VE PRETENDED TO COACH OR MENTOR: I’m so, so sorry! Honest!
Here’s why. This month I was a learner in a seminar with CEOs and board chairs. The highly energetic, wise and witty facilitator was Michael Bungay Stanier, the author of the hot-off-the-press book, “The Coaching Habit.”
At a coffee break, halfway through the three-hour, how-to-coach practicum, I told Stanier that—already—the seminar was on my Top-10 list of best workshops ever attended (and I’ve attended my fair share). Here’s why I gave it a 10:
Three memorable points on coaching:
--BE LAZY: Stop working so hard.
--BE CURIOUS: Stop giving so much advice.
--BE OFTEN: Stop waiting to coach.
And how’s this for role reversal? I’m usually reading snippets from books to my wife. She picked this up first and is still reading—and reminding me—on what effective coaching looks like, especially the “stop giving so much advice” poke-in-the-ribs. Ouch.
Stanier notes that “Harland Howard said every great country song has three chords and the truth. This book gives you seven questions and the tools to make them an everyday...
