America's most sought-after executive coach shares his proven methods to climb the last few rungs of the ladder. Marshall Goldsmith, who has coached hundreds of CEOs around the world, shows how to reach the pinnacle of success in any field: by being more charismatic, more open to feedback, and simply being a better person.
Readers will learn how to put others at ease and form alliances with people who wield power over them; how to overcome their own egos and see things from another's point of view; how to stop sabotaging their own careers by making small transactional flaws (like not saying thank you enough); and much more.
Marshall Goldsmith explains that the same traits that propelled you to success initially may not be effective in your future growth. It's important to recognize this and adapt your approach as you progress in your career.
Goldsmith emphasizes the need for feedback in personal and professional growth. He suggests that we should actively seek feedback and use it constructively to improve ourselves.
The book identifies 20 common habits that can hinder your progress. Take a look at these habits, see if any apply to you, and work on eliminating them to unlock your full potential.
Goldsmith highlights the power of a sincere apology in mending relationships and improving your image. He suggests that acknowledging our mistakes and apologizing can help us move forward.
The author encourages us to adopt a forward-looking mindset. Instead of dwelling on past achievements or failures, we should focus on what we can do better in the future. Check out 'What Got You Here Won’t Get You There' to explore these insights in detail.
