Managers and leaders find themselves stuck in three vicious circles. They’re frustrated by teams that have become over-dependent on them. They’re overwhelmed by the amount of work they have to do. And, they’re disconnected from their own Great Work—the work that has impact, the work that has meaning. Sound familiar?

Michael Bungay Stanier is the founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, a company that helps organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work.
George Orwell said, “An autobiography is only to be trusted when it reveals something disgraceful.” In that vein, Michael Bungay Stanier was banned from his high school graduation for “the balloon incident,” was sued by one of his law school lecturers for defamation, and managed to give himself a concussion while digging a hole as a laborer…
Luckily, there’s also been some upside. He is the author of a number of books, the latest and greatest is The Coaching Habit.

All of this is done as founder and Senior Partner of Box of Crayons, a company that helps organizations do less Good Work and more Great Work. Their focus is on helping time-crunched managers coach in 10 minutes or less, and their Fortune 500 clients include TD Bank, Kraft, Gartner, and VMWare.
