Better questions for work-fueled sleep problems
Experienced leaders can become exhausted by being the person who always knows, fixes, and advises. Bungay Stanier organizes coaching around seven concise questions that help other people think, choose, and take responsibility. Sleep problems are not solved by a conversation script, but carrying every colleague’s difficulty home can keep the managerial mind permanently activated. In a season of transition, the book offers a lighter form of authority: stay curious longer, resist the advice reflex, clarify the real challenge, and ask what support is actually wanted. Better questions can develop others while reducing the pressure to personally hold every answer.
About Michael Bungay Stanier
Michael Bungay Stanier wrote four early versions of The Coaching Habit without persuading his New York publisher. He eventually self-published the concise book he wanted, turning rejection into proof of its own message: say less, simplify, and keep testing what works.
