From The Vault: A Conversation with Michael Bungay Stanier

Michael Bungay Stanier is the author of one of my favorite books The Coaching Habit. On this episode we talk about his new brand new book, The Advice Trap. Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever. Today we talk about the three main problems with giving advice: (1) your advice doesn’t work; (2) solving the wrong problem; and (3) proposing a mediocre solution. As a result, you risk becoming what Michael calls an Advice Monster. This episode was recorded in early 2020.
