June Book Selection - The Advice Trap: Be Humble, Stay Curious & Change the Way You Lead Forever by Michael Bungay Stanier

Join us in June for a facilitated discussion of The Advice Trap by Michael Bungay Stanier!

This month's reading is about getting to grips with how to actually change your behavior so you stay curious a little bit longer. Coaching expert Michael Bungay Stanier explains that advice-giving can lead to more problems than solutions and encourages you, instead, to adopt a coaching style of leadership. Stanier argues that when you learn to approach difficult conversations with questions instead of suggestions, you’ll unlock the full potential of your team and relieve yourself of unnecessary burdens.

Don't have time to read the whole book? That's okay! You are encouraged to attend whether you've read the whole thing, a few chapters, or even just the back cover. During the session we will provide the opportunity for peers to share their recap from the book and for all to explore their insights and learnings more deeply.

About Book Club

Treat yourself to a good book and thought-provoking discussion this Spring and Summer! We are thrilled to once again host an hour of facilitated discussion around your favorite Organizational Development books. Our time together will center around the themes presented in each selected book that matter to you as an OD practitioner.

This monthly gathering is geared towards members and guests interested in a peer-supported enhanced reading experience that offers new perspectives and personal development. Join us as we connect with fellow OD practitioners in a positive, supportive environment while promoting a love for reading and continuous learning!
