Product Description
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 attain a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But, in this audiobook, you 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 these problems. Goldsmith outlines twenty habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping you achieve a positive change in behavior.

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.
Straightforward Thoughtful Book on Self Improvement July 13, 2008

You could easily summerize this book as "well DUH!" However, that's not meant to be a criticism it's meant to say the points made in the book are so obvious yet most fail to stop and think.
Goldsmith challenges his readers to stop and think about their behaviors at work and home. He details stories of helping successful CEO's and other business people who on paper were successful but were one bad quarter from being shown the door due to their attitude.
The author reviews in detail 20 bad habits at work and ways to improve or correct negative behaviors. 2 examples would be to say thank you and fines for negative words or behaviors. ON the thank you point, the author points out that many of us will say "I already knew that, or oh that doesn't matter". The author, in more detail, explains how learning to say thank you will be much more beneficial than arguing. The other point is the author suggests hefty fines for a bad behavior. He states the more $$ you put in the jar, the quicker it is to correct the behavior. Many people are negative subconciously.
These are just 2 examples of how the author helps in business.
While the information in this book is not earth shattering or rocket science, it is laid out and explained in such a manner that the tips can be but into practice immediately.

... do it! This book was a real eye-opener for me on how a successful person can hit her own developmental 'tipping-point'. Using Marshall's checklist of twenty habits, I was shocked to discover I have performed at least twelve of the twenty! Thank you Marshall for the self awareness and the roadmap to help me get out of my own way.
If you want practical advice, with tangible next steps to take you to the next level in your career, I highly recommend this book.
Outstanding book....a must read! July 7, 2008

Yet another amazing book by Marshall. Full of insights and tons of practical ideas that are not only pragmatic, but also high impact. I am a big fan of identifying the few things that make the biggest difference in creating an extraordinary quality of life. And in this book I found many such ideas. Anyone looking for ideas that truly make a difference in the workplace, and indeed in life, must read, but most importantly apply what Marshall recommends. Ranks as one of the best books I've read in several years.
