Product Description
BAmericas most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladder/B PThe corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of management. Theyre 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 Ithank you/I enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmiths straightforward, jargonfree advice, its amazingly easy behavior to change. PExecutives 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.

This WORKS! November 16, 2008
As an executive coach, I ask clients to identify what of the 20 habits they are guilty of. The book becomes a safe, third-party place to see yourself in the mirror and be aware of how your behavior affects others. Recently a client sent me an email titled "That Darn Marshall". He said it took him 20 minutes to rewrite an email without the words "no", "but", or "however"...but he did it and the response he got back was positive.br /br /I've seen NASA engineers who don't think about giving recognition try the 5 pennies exercise and now they regularly give valid praise and graditude to those around them. People really do want to look good in other's eyes and sometimes a busy successful person forgets that. Marshall's book both identifies areas in which we can strengthen and gives practical simple tools to apply immediately. br /br /It's a terrific book about how to get better results faster!

Guide to how not to be a Jerk November 7, 2008
A book full of common sense on "How not to be a Jerk". Unfortunately, if you are a jerk, you are probably not going to read the book.

Book Is Incorrectly Named October 21, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful

Book should be named "Common Errors Even Successful People Make". It was a list of poor behaviors that would get most people fired - quickly. I was disappointed as I expected it to elevate my game. Instead, it listed many poor behaviors that anyone with a sense of self would not engage in.

This book is one of the best I've ever read. Some people assume that once one has what it takes to advance in one's career, there's no stopping one. This book makes a solid case that many people who achieve initial success later reach a ceiling that has nothing to do with their abilities - it is determined by their weaknesses. This book describes a clear methodology for determining and addressing 20 common weaknesses. Further, the book illustrates many of these so clearly that it was possible for me to see some of them in myself directly. Probably the best thing about the book, is that it points out relatively simple ways almost anyone can improve their interpersonal skills. I think I'm going to be re-reading it quarterly to help me keep these practices in mind. Fortunately the book is so well written, it's hard to put down.

The Future of Tommorow - Highly Recommended! October 12, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Marshall Goldsmith illustrates the concept of focusing the mind on positive ways of thinking. He has provided "20 annoying habits". He has written how they need to be "eliminated"; until your thoughts have been clearly defined. As a reader, I can relate to most of these habits and I have a clear understanding to say "Thank you" when it needs to be said. Highly Recommended to Corporations, Small Businesses, and future students.
