The Five Drivers of Success

Identify and Eliminate the Limiters That Are Preventing You from Achieving Your Best Career and Life

Everyone wants to be successful, but few are willing to do the work and even fewer know how.

According to executive coach and best-selling author Mike Acker, there is no single secret to success but five non-negotiable drivers: knowledge, experience, communication, emotional intelligence, and drive.

What about talent?

Imagine a bucket punctured with five holes. Those holes, not the bucket’s size, determine its capacity. In the same way, talent is meaningless if you are failing in one (or more) of the drivers. Your success cannot rise above your lowest hole.

In The Five Drivers of Success, you’ll learn:

• Why boredom can be a greater obstacle than lack of talent or laziness.
• The difference between punching the clock and becoming a resident expert.
• How great communication overcomes weaknesses but bad communication neutralizes strengths.
• Why self-focus, properly understood, is the key to effectively dealing with conflict and criticism.
• How to develop the grit that gets you “over the hump.”

Are you tired of being passed up by less qualified coworkers? Worried that you’ve already peaked? Or just starting out and looking for a reliable roadmap to the top? Whatever your story, this is the book you need to identify, and eliminate, the limiters that are holding you back.
