The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever
Why I recommend it
This is a short, practical reminder to stay curious. Its questions help managers give someone room to think before jumping in with advice.
What it changed in my thinking
The first problem someone names isn’t always the one they need help with. Listening a little longer can change the conversation.
Who it’s useful for
Managers, coaches, and mentors who sometimes help by taking over.
A tension or limitation
A few good questions can become a script. Keep listening, and recognize when direct guidance would help.
