The Coaching Habit: Say Less, Ask More & Change the Way You Lead Forever

Coaching & Conversation
Why I recommend it
This is a compact, usable reminder that coaching begins with curiosity. Its questions help managers resist the urge to solve too quickly and give another person room to think.
What it changed in my thinking
It reinforced that advice can interrupt discovery. Staying with a thoughtful question a little longer often reveals the real challenge beneath the first problem presented.
Who it’s useful for
Managers, coaches, mentors, and anyone whose helpfulness sometimes turns into taking over another person’s problem.
A tension or limitation
A small set of questions can become formulaic. Good coaching still depends on listening, context, trust, and knowing when direct guidance is actually needed.
