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."

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

trusted partner, and it will help you tame your Advice

an A Team

(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."
