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.

I enjoyed the book. For me the value was in hearing Goldsmith talk about annoying & distracting habits, some of which plague me. In listening to his discussion of the habits I learned a few things about myself. Now I can change a few behaviors that may have been annoying others and holding me back.

The points mentioned about how even successful people have chinks in the armor and even these chinks can be ironed out by focusing on the problem.

Great Book!

Should be named, bad habits from successful people. I was expecting the book to focus more on the fact that after you get to a senior position you are as much qualified as most of the people around you, and you must differentiate yourself. Also the reader is extremely boring, I couldn’t listen to it while driving, cause I started falling sleep.

To start with, this is a good book written by someone who knows what they are doing. I learned a lot. What makes this book even more special is that the author made a point of sharing those things that get in the way of your success (what Not to do). This Not part is not a part of many self help books. I for one found the Nots quite helpful.

This book is eye opening. We often think if I just continue with what has made me successful, I will become more successful but that is far from the truth. I appreciate the insights and perspective.

You would think that it wouldn't be that complicated to be more effective. Apparently it is. It might be good to read this book in short segments.
