Product Description
America's most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladderThe 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, jargonfree 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.

 Finally July 22, 2008
A bad habbit kept me from productivity. This book not only helped identify what kept me stuck but empowered me to adopt new behaviors.
Buy this book and change your future.

When I heard the title of this book I thought it surely is a must read. The title was the best part of the book. Concepts are decent but I read this while flying across the Atlantic and wound up just leaving it on the plane for somebody else. Nothing to write home about. Incredible title and the concept triggered a lot in me as a leader however....
The Gift of a Mirror July 20, 2008
Through this book, Marshall Goldsmith gives us each the opportunity to hold up a mirror to reveal insights into our own actions and reactions. This is a book we incorporate into a number of OD activities in our organization, certainly in coaching individuals, but also in working with teams. One business leader I work with recently read the book, and immediately turned around and purchased it for his entire leadership team, giving it to them as a gift at a recent planning session. Almost daily I am hearing stories of meaningful self-reflection, ranging from the hilarious to the poignant, all finding at least a bit of themselves on the pages. This example demonstrates what I think is the book's biggest strength, the clarity of Marshall's straight-forward and practical approach aimed at helping us all get better at what we do.

If you do what you have always done , you will get what you have always gotten.
Marshall's new book has shown us all a very effective work around. Read the book and watch how the direction you have been going can shift overnight.

While CEO of a national tree preservation firm with 500 teammates in 23 locations I gave this book to my senior leadership team as a key read. The book is filled with real hands-on advice. What hit home particularly for me were the common "bad habits" of CEO's/key leaders that can get in the way of developing your people. This is an excellent book to read as a leader and use as a tool with your leadership team. If you have a team that wants to grow, get this book because what got them here won't get them there.
