Won’t Get You There

Book Review - Top Pick!

What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There is dedicated to all successful leaders who want to “take it to the next level” and get even better.
Whether you are near the top of the ladder or still have a ways to climb, this book serves as an essential guide to help you eliminate your dysfunctions and move to where you want to go.

First, Goldsmith takes us on a personal journey through self-assessment with chapters titled: You Are Here, Enough About You, and The Success Delusion, or Why We Resist Change.

Next, he masterfully walks the reader through the twenty-one habits that hold you back from making it to the top.
What Got You Here Won't Get You There is unique in that the author not only explains what we must do better, more of, and improve upoon - but he also explains the importance of consciously NOT doing certain things, which get in the way of our success.

Some of these "“not to do’s" include: Winning too much; Adding too much value; Passing Judgment; Making destructive comments; Starting with "No", "But", or "However"; Telling the world how smart we are; Speaking when angry; Withholding information; Making Excuses, Not Listening; Refusing to express reqret, and Exhibiting an excessive need to be "me" - and several more.
