What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful!
by Marshall Goldsmith
Description:
America’s most sought after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladder.
The corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of management. They’re intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small “transactional flaws” performed by one person against another (as simple as not saying thank you enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmith’s straightforward, jargon-free advice, it’s amazingly easy behavior to change. Executives who hire Goldsmith for one on one coaching pay $250,000 for the privilege. With this book, his help is available for 1/10,000th of the price.

Skryf Review
Good Read
This book is filled with a lot of wisdom and very practical advice. Ask people who know you, really know you, especially at work, to help you identify where you have glaring faults. Then don’t judge or criticize their responses. Just say thank you. Acknowledge you need to grow, advertise it, apologize for it, and commit for 12-18 months to get better…then you can listen, learn, and grow.
