The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier (Paperback)

Some books don’t just teach you something new — they gently shift the way you show up in the world. Before you even open the first page, there’s a small truth worth pausing for: leadership isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about creating space for better conversations. That moment of awareness becomes the bridge into what this book offers — clarity, confidence, and a more human way to lead.

The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier is more than a business guide; it’s a refreshing, practical companion for leaders, managers, mentors, and anyone who wants to communicate with more intention. Instead of falling into the habit of giving advice, this bestseller teaches you how to lead with curiosity — the skill that transforms everyday interactions into meaningful, growth‑filled moments.

Through seven simple but powerful coaching questions, you’ll learn how to:

• Say less and listen more for deeper engagement
• Empower others to take ownership and solve problems
• Build trust through thoughtful, spacious conversation
• Turn quick chats into genuine leadership opportunities

Written in a warm, conversational style and backed by behavioural science, this book is easy to read, immediately useful, and surprisingly fun. Whether you’re stepping into leadership for the first time or refining your existing style, The Coaching Habit helps you unlock better relationships, stronger teams, and a more grounded way of guiding others.

A small book with a big impact — one you’ll return to again and again.
