Product Description
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 attain a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But, in this audiobook, you 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 these problems. Goldsmith outlines twenty habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping you achieve a positive change in behavior.

 Good for anyone who wants to improve their interpersonal relationship and leadership skill October 6, 2008
Although the book title clearly aims itself at the successful managers, it is a good antidote for all who want to do better particularly on interpersonal relationship and leadership, that previous success, no matter big or small, almost always mar ourselves with complacency, self centredness, over confidence etc etc. Well organised with wit and good substance, it did help improve my communication skills, till the time I forgot them all, and then pick it out for a re-read. In short, recommended.
p.s. Below please find my favorite "tactics" for your reference.
Stop asking for feedback and then expressing your opinion. pg 117
What impressed me was that when he asked a question, he waited for the answer. He not only listened, he made me feel like I was the only person in the room. pg 152
He never takes his eyes off me. Even if the Queen walked in, he wouldnt be distracted. He would stil be devoting his full attention to me. That's hard to resist. pg 153
Clinton made a point of knowing something positive about you, and without making a big show of it, saying something to let you know he knew it. In effect, he was bragging about you to you. pg 153
Once you master the subtle arts of apologizing, advertising, listening, and thanking, you must follow up - relentlessly. Or everything else is just a "program of the month." pg 161
 A great tool for personal reflection and discovering your blindspots September 22, 2008

This book is a practical and powerful tool that makes you stop and think about what you are doing - both consciously and unconsciously - in your drive to be successful. I have had several executive clients who have had the "Oh my God, he's talking about me!" experience when reading Goldsmith's candid and pointed observations. I highly recommend this book to any individual who wants to create and sustain top level legacy leadership.
Good and simple, the way it should be September 22, 2008
This is a good book, simply spoken and simply followed.
The biggest thing I got out of this book was really simple. The reason you have success is not because of the 'quirks' you have, but "IN-SPITE" of the quirks you have! :) Brilliant!
Great read for those looking to succeed at work and at home! September 19, 2008

Many times, we read motivational books that are both repetitive and quickly forgotten. Not so with Dr. Goldsmith's work. He has an uncanny knack for subtely giving great advice on how to change our behaviors in the workplace, that easily transition over to positive behavioral patterns for your personal life. While most books of this nature force feed us into introducing new concepts and behavior patterns, this one provides the tools for changing and completely eliminating behaviors that are detrimental to our journey towards to true success and fulfillment. What Got You Here, Won't Get You There is a fantastic guide for those who are open to changing their behavior and tendencies not only in the office, but at home as well. Finally, a great book from a highly acclaimed professional who doesn't fill his book with fluff and a 'to do' list that we've all heard and seen before.
Like Dr. Marshall, this book is Outstanding ! September 3, 2008

Like Dr. Marshall, this book is Outstanding
I heard him first, read his website next and before I read this Classic book. It can be a turning point in readers' lives. His real life examples and simple narration indeed make you sit up and listen very very carefully. Clearly an outstanding book.
