#1 BESTSELLER (Business and Personal Finance, Toronto Star ) "Michael Bungay Stanier has done for curiosity what Brené Brown did for vulnerability. The Advice Trap is superbly written, a very quick and enjoyable read, but most importantly it will develop you into a far more influential leader." --Thomas A. Kolditz, PhD; Brigadier General, US Army (ret); Director, Doerr Institute at Rice University "Michael Bungay Stanier's been named the #1 thought leader in the world on coaching. This book is one of the reasons why he's a champion for the shift--for people, teams, and organizations--from advice-driven to curiosity-led." --Marshall Goldsmith, the only two-time Thinkers 50 #1 Leadership Thinker in the world "This book speaks truth: when the best leaders do less themselves, they get more from others. But learning to do less can be painfully hard. Fortunately, Michael Bungay Stanier applies his signature wit and clarity to the challenge, which means making hard change just got a whole lot easier." --Liz Wiseman, author of Multipliers and Rookie Smarts "To get more from your people, you need to grow their capability and engagement, and step up yourself. A great way to do that is to give less advice and do more coaching." --Jeremy Darroch, Group CEO, Sky "Michael Bungay Stanier literally wrote the book on how excessive advice is a sneaky monster, undermining leaders and their teams alike. The Advice Trap is a delightful conversation with a trusted partner, and it will help you tame your Advice Monster." --Whitney Johnson, bestselling author of Disrupt Yourself and Build an A Team "Oh, the sweet temptation to jump right in and provide the answer! In The Advice Trap , Michael Bungay Stanier not only teaches us why jumping in is wrong, but with humour and wisdom shows us a better (and easier!) approach guaranteed to bring out the best in the people we coach and lead." --Laura Gassner Otting, bestselling author of Limitless "Most leaders want to be good coaches, but coaching doesn't come naturally. The Advice Trap gets to the core of coaching: be humble and stay curious. It is quick and easy to read, backed by science, and offers practical tools to enable leaders to tame their Advice Monster and learn how to coach." --Dig Howitt, CEO and President, Cochlear, "#1 BESTSELLER" -- Business and Personal Finance, Toronto Star "Michael Bungay Stanier has done for curiosity what Brené Brown did for vulnerability.

And if you master his simple yet profound technique, you'll get a two-fer. You'll provide more effective support to your employees and co-workers. And you may find that you become the ultimate coach for yourself." -- Daniel H. Pink , author of To Sell Is Human and Drive "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 an 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. It can also mean unlearning our "fix it" habits. 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, "Michael Bungay Stanier has done for curiosity what Brené Brown did for vulnerability.

A companion to The Coaching Habit, The Advice Trap gives you the power to say less, ask more-and change how you lead forever 'Another delicious shot of practical genius from Michael Bungay Stanier.' -- Liane Davey, author of The Good Fight ' The Advice Trap is the antidote for bureaucratic inertia. You cannot be a leader if you do not own this book.' -- Jennifer Paylor, People engineer, executive leadership development, and coaching leader for enterprise operations and services, IBM'Being a coach-like manager and being coached is a core part of our culture at Microsoft -- it's how talented people thrive and grow. Michael Bungay Stanier has helped evolve how we think about coaching and how it can bring our growth mindset to life.' -- Jean-Philippe Courtois, President, Microsoft Global Sales; marketing and operations EVP, Microsoft Corporation, Hi there, it's Michael, the author. You might know my previous book, The Coaching Habit . It was an unexpected bestseller: more than 700,000 copies sold so far, 1,000+ 5-star reviews on Amazon (my favourite: "I have plodded through many books that wish they could be this book"), a Wall Street Journal bestseller, and used by people and organizations around the world. So I've been sweating on the follow-up. The pressure! The anticipation! But here it is, and I think you're going to like it. If The Coaching Habit says, "here are the seven essential questions to be more coach-like," The Advice Trap is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behaviour so you stay curious a little bit longer. It sounds like it should be easy, but it's not. You have to tame your Advice Monster, that part of you that jumps in to offer up ideas, opinions, suggestions and advice. And it's taming your Advice Monster that's at the heart of this book. But there are also some specific coaching strategies, particularly on how to focus on what matters most. There are tools to make your conversations, coaching and otherwise, irresistible. There are even resources beyond the book itself, including a one-year, free leadership program from a 52-person faculty of cool, diverse, and provocative thinkers. In 2019, I was named the #1 Thought Leader in Coaching, and was short-listed for the coaching award by Thinkers50, the "Oscars of Management." My work's been featured in journals such as HBR , Fast Company , Forbes , and Inc. , and my company, Box of Crayons, has trained more than 100,000 people just like you in the tools and mindset required for this essential leadership behaviour: being more coach-like. You'll get all of that wisdom and experience when you read The Advice Trap . I'm pretty sure you'll find it a great investment of your money and time. (And, by the way, thank you in advance for buying it. I'm thrilled to know the book is going out into the world.)
