What Got You Here Won't Get You There

How Successful People Become Even More Successful

By: Marshall Goldsmith, Mark Reiter

Narrated by: Marshall Goldsmith

What's holding you back? Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. Perhaps one small flaw, a behavior you barely even recognize, is the only thing that's keeping you from where you want to be.

Who can help? Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their (sometimes unconscious) annoying habits and attaining a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But with this audiobook, you'll get Marshall's great advice without the hefty fee!

What is the solution? The Harvard Business Review asked Goldsmith, "What is the most common problem faced by the executives that you coach?" Inside, he answers this question by discussing not only the key beliefs of successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold them back. He addresses the fundamental problems that often come with success and offers ways to attack them. Goldsmith outlines 20 habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping executives achieve a positive change in behavior.

Critic reviews

"[Goldsmith's] steps in coaching for success are simple, honest, without artifice." (Booklist)

Very Worthwhile

I found this to be very useful. As it turns out, I am one of those people who may come across as being arrogant. I think many of us can see ourselves in the 20 bad habits he documents. To get this kind of information in a corporate setting would cost thousands. This book has caused me to think...which is the highest accolade I can give.

Great Wake Up Call!!!

If you could sum up What Got You Here Won't Get You There in three words, what would they be?

Things we already know we should be doing but dont. Great book to refocus oneself.

Excellent, simple insights into change

Marshall Goldsmith is an engaging, facinating speaker and his personality shows through nicely in this audiobook. His technique of picking one bad habit to change and following up month after month is very effective. I am using his techniques in my life and in my office and am very happy with the results.

Good Book

Would you try another book from Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter and/or Marshall Goldsmith?

Yes, I enjoyed the book and took away a lot from it. I enjoyed him not only sharing the stories of his clients but his life events that we can all relate to.

Would you ever listen to anything by Marshall Goldsmith and Mark Reiter again?

Yes

Great book

This book will help you be a better person both personally and professionally and live a better life

great book

Loved it . Time went by very fast. Great narration and I did not loose interest.

Worthy read

Book is primarily on mindshift focus and operating in a different narrative than where you currently are at. Managers will find the book very beneficial as it helps you to see how those around you view you. We tend to get tunnel vision and the guides in the book help refocus the lens.

Food for thought!

I found the book very interesting and as someone who is always looking to get better I found a few things I can work on. Great read for people looking to achieve more!

Very inspiring <br />

easy listening and great message. I enjoyed this so much I'm looking forward to hearing more books from this author.
