Derived from the Go term for post-game analysis, 'Review' has evolved into a structured, evidence-based method for turning past experiences into actionable growth—for both individuals and organizations. Popularized by Lenovo founder Liu Chuanzhi, this framework goes beyond generic work summaries: it requires teams to revisit goals, compare actual outcomes, dig into root causes of gaps, and translate lessons into concrete next steps. Unlike routine summaries that focus on performance bragging, Review prioritizes learning, collaborative discussion, and factual accuracy. Drawing on real-world examples from the U.S. military’s After-Action Reviews (AAR), British Petroleum’s project post-mortems, and Lenovo’s decades of corporate practice, this book breaks down how to implement Review across personal tasks, team activities, large-scale projects, and strategic planning. It addresses common misconceptions, provides step-by-step guides, and shows how to embed Review into company culture to build a self-improving learning organization that avoids repeating mistakes and drives consistent performance gains.

For busy managers drowning in endless requests and ineffective leadership training, The Coaching Habit offers a game-changing solution: 7 simple, powerful questions that turn coaching from a time-consuming formal task into a daily, instinctual habit. Drawing on decades of research and real-world experience, author Michael Bungay Stanier addresses the three vicious cycles plaguing modern teams—over-reliance on managers, overwhelming stress, and disorientation from meaningless work—and shows how these questions break those cycles. He also lays out a science-backed framework to build this coaching habit, covering five core elements: purpose, triggers, concise actions, deep practice, and flexible planning. Whether you’re leading direct reports, collaborating with colleagues, or even connecting with family, these questions transform conversations, empower others to solve their own problems, and free you to focus on high-impact work. This book isn’t just about coaching—it’s about redefining leadership to be more efficient, empowering, and sustainable.
