Pros & Cons
Pros
Insightful, clever, with plenty to take away and instantly apply. The potent simplicity of its coaching framework is sublime.
Asking more questions is a great start to coaching but here michael distills things down in to seven questions. It makes coaching real, and sound like it is easy to do - benefitting both myself and others.
Michael says that the single biggest problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place already. From knowing when to stay quiet to getting more from your staff. Scarcity+become unafraid of silence.
Squarely in the middle of the best book i've ever read.
Cons
A bunch of self-congratulatory fluff to enrich three lines of debatably good advice. The author refers to others to reference quotes. Nothing new is leant in this book.
