What Got You Here Won't Get You There
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. That something may just be one of your own annoying habits. Perhaps one small flaw—a behavior you barely even recognize—is the only thing that's keeping you from where you want to be. As What Got You Here Won't Get You There explains, people often do well in spite of certain and need a "to stop" list rather than one listing what "to do".
Praise for What Got You Here Won't Get You There
"Goldsmith has no interest in probing why people behave the way they do. He doesn't try to reshape their personalities. He measures success by the extent to which other people's perceptions of his clients change for the better. He teaches them how to apologize for their shortcomings."
— Barbara Rose, Chicago Tribune
"The book is written pretty much the way Marshall speaks. It is simple, brutally honest, and humorous. It doesn't try to get fancy. It's economically composed, crafted to be useful. It will appeal to people with no time to waste. Like its author, it's practical and to the point. What Got You Here will be required reading for many years to come."
— David Zweig, Senior Editor, World Business Academy Perspectives
"This is a superb book, practical with a rich understanding of human behavior and how to change. Mr. Goldsmith has endless examples from his work and his own personal failings, and the result is a chance for readers whose companies don't hire him to get the benefit of his expertise."
— Harvey Schachter, Globe and Mail
