The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever

Michael Bungay Stanier ignited a powerful conversation about the importance of coaching teams from a basis of curiosity — rather than top-down, hierarchical leadership — with his book The Coaching Habit. With The Advice Trap, Stanier, the CEO of learning and development company Box of Crayons, returns to his roots in servant leadership, guiding executives and managers on taming the “Advice Monster” — the tendency to offer un-asked-for prescriptions and opinions — so you can bring out the best ideas from your team by using curious inquiry. If you’re a Social Capital leader looking to tap the full potential of everyone on your team, this book is the ideal manual.
