Michael Bungay Stanier is a leadership coach and bestselling author whose earlier work, The Coaching Habit, has sold over three quarters of a million copies and helped leaders use coaching to unleash creativity in their teams.

In this final episode of Season 5—Episode 50—Michael returns with his new book, The Advice Trap, to show you how to tame your inner Advice Monster and transform the way you lead and communicate.

‘Our advice is not nearly as good as we think it is.’ – listen to the full conversation.

Michael Bungay Stanier is a coach and author who teaches leaders how to move from rushing to solutions towards being curious a little longer. His first book, The Coaching Habit, became a modern management classic, and his new follow-up, The Advice Trap, tackles the hidden costs of our default advice-giving habit.
