This book explores how small, often unrecognized habits can hinder personal and professional growth. It emphasizes the importance of identifying what to stop doing to achieve greater success.
In "What Got You Here Won't Get You There," Marshall Goldsmith explores the subtle yet impactful habits that can hinder professional advancement. He posits that often, individuals achieve success despite certain behaviors rather than because of them. This book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these unconscious habits, suggesting that a "to stop" list may be more beneficial than a "to do" list for those seeking to elevate their careers.
Goldsmith draws on his extensive experience as a renowned executive coach, having worked with over 100 CEOs and their management teams at major corporations like Goldman Sachs and Johnson & Johnson. He highlights that many leaders possess traits they believe contribute to their success—such as a relentless drive to win—that may actually be obstacles to further growth. By identifying and modifying these behaviors, readers can unlock their potential and reach new heights in their professional journeys.
The book serves as a valuable resource for global leaders looking to refine their approach and enhance their effectiveness. Goldsmith's insights provide practical strategies for overcoming ingrained habits that may go unnoticed but can significantly impact one's career trajectory. With his guidance, readers are encouraged to reflect on their own behaviors and embrace the changes necessary to achieve the next level of success.
As the reader, we think: 'How on earth will Marshall conquer this one?' A bit like the A-team: the odds seem impossibly slim and yet he always pulls it out of the bag. * Management Today *
