The Advice Trap
Michael Bungay Stanier has a talent for reducing enormous, complex ideas into practical, understandable knowledge for average people, allowing them to be a force for good. Over a million copies of his books have been sold, with The Coaching Habit topping the Wall Street Journal bestseller list.
The Advice Trap is all about figuring out how to truly adjust your behavior so you can stay interested for a little bit longer. It is regarded as one of the best books on coaching that will make you a better coach.
It appears to be simple, but it is not. You must tame your Advice Monster, the part of yourself that rushes in with thoughts, views, proposals, and advice. The central theme of this book is taming your Advice Monster. However, there are certain specialized coaching tactics, specifically on how to focus on what is most important. There are technologies available to make your talks, coaching, and other interactions appealing. There are even tools available outside of the book, such as a one-year, free leadership program led by a 52-person faculty of cool, diverse, and provocative thinkers.
