Editorial Review:
America's most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladderThe corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of management. They're intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle -- and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small "transactional flaws" performed by one person against another (as simple as not saying thank you enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmith's straightforward, jargonfree advice, it's amazingly easy behavior to change.Executives who hire Goldsmith for one-on-one coaching pay $250,000 for the privilege. With this book, his help is available for 1/10,000th of the price.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Words of wisdom from an outstanding executive coach
From a purely economic perspective, this may be among the most valuable books in print. If every executive followed the advice in this book, we wouldn't have more than 100 million Americans who are not engaged in their jobs and, as a result, productivity and innovation would soar.
In this book, uber-executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares his insights about the most common habitual behaviors that prevent leaders from reaching their potential and how to overcome them. We all have ... Read More
Rating: - Consistently Marshall-esque and direct
If you do nothing else over the summer, pick up Marshall Goldsmith's simple yet consistently Marshall-esque and direct book, What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful. I recently had a chance to meet Marshall at the Vistage International 50th anniversary conference. His unassuming presence completely disarms you with the fact that he is the personal coach to some of the Fortune 500's most elite CEOs.
Early on in his book, he references ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Read
Undoubtedly one of the best books I have read this year. The direct and powerful advice in this book will beat your expectations. Highly recommended.
Rating:  - So-so
Basically, it takes Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence Poeple" and tailors it to the arrogant, egotistical perspective of many of today's overpaid, underperforming, delusional CEO's.
Rating:  - Excellent Read - Right on
In this book, the author makes some valid points that is applicable to anyone in the business community. The language seems geared more towards executive coaches rather than the business leaders themselves. Overall, this book contains some very good and practical information, however, it was a little bit too much common sense for me and hence the 4 stars instead of 5. For example, one action item states: List the 25 people who have helped you the most in your life. Now, write a thank-you note to each ... Read More
