What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How successful people become even more successful

Summary by: Marta Brzosko

Marshall Goldsmith has been coaching some of America’s most influential leaders and CEOs for over 30 years. He’s earned himself a reputation of being the best in his field. 

Goldsmith recognizes that plenty of leaders hold on to awful character traits and unhelpful behaviors. This is additionally reinforced by the common opinions about successful people as being competitive, self-obsessed and even obnoxious. But at some point, these characteristics usually get in the way of leaders and executives having even more success.

This book is a much-needed reality check for those high up on the corporate ladder. If you already are a successful leader, such a paradigm shift may be precisely what you need.

Here are 3 lessons that can help top leaders see through the blind spots in their perception:

1. People often succeed despite their flaws – but believe that they did because of them.
2. Avoiding mistakes should be celebrated as an important part of growth.
3. At the top, it is all about helping others shine. 

If you are ready to open your eyes to what’s holding you back – this book is just right for you.
