What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith

You’ve worked hard, you’ve achieved success — so why does the next level feel so out of reach? In this Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller, world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith reveals a surprising truth: the very behaviours and habits that drove your success so far may be the exact things holding you back from going further.

Through decades of coaching hundreds of the world’s top executives and leaders, Goldsmith has identified 20 workplace habits — subtle, often unconscious behaviours — that derail even the most talented and driven professionals. From the need to win at all costs and adding too much value, to failing to give recognition and not listening, these habits are invisible to those who have them — but glaringly obvious to everyone around them.

The good news? They can be changed. With warmth, humour, and hard-won wisdom, Goldsmith shows exactly how to identify your limiting habits and replace them with behaviours that will take you from good to great — as a leader, a colleague, and a person.

The 20 Habits That Hold Successful People Back

• Winning too much — the need to win at all costs, even when it doesn’t matter
• Adding too much value — the overwhelming desire to add your two cents to every discussion
• Passing judgment — rating others and imposing your standards on them
• Making destructive comments — the needless sarcasm and cutting remarks that we think are witty
• Failing to give proper recognition — the inability to praise and reward
• And 15 more habits that quietly undermine your leadership and relationships
