The Advice Trap. The Main Book on Coaching

OVER 1000 REVIEWS ON AMAZON, OVER 700,000 COPIES SOLD, TRANSLATED INTO 28 LANGUAGES.
FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE WALL STREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER «COACHING-LEADERSHIP».

We love to give advice and hate to receive it. Like most people around us. The author of this book, Michael Bungay Stanier, believes: if you want your words to truly reach the ears and minds of those they are addressed to — start using coaching techniques. That is, listen and gently guide, rather than provide ready-made solutions.

To change your communication and management style, you will have to defeat three forms of the advice monster: the Adviser, the Rescuer, and the Controller.

«The Advice Trap» will help with this and teach you how to:
• use silence as a clever communication technique;
• shift anxiety for results to the background and trust your team;
• properly express gratitude to employees to motivate them to achieve;
• find the right moment to give advice.
