What Got You Here Won't Get You There

Many successful individuals reach a point where their current strengths become obstacles to further advancement. Marshall Goldsmith's 'What Got You Here Won't Get You There' addresses this paradox, revealing how ingrained habits, even seemingly positive ones, can hinder ultimate success in leadership and personal growth.
This book explores the common behavioral flaws that prevent highly accomplished people from reaching the next level. Often, a subtle, unrecognized habit—or even a characteristic previously considered a strength—is the very barrier holding them back. Goldsmith argues that rather than adding new tasks to a 'to-do' list, true progress often comes from identifying and stopping specific self-defeating behaviors.
Drawing on his extensive experience as an executive coach to global leaders, Goldsmith provides practical strategies for recognizing and overcoming these unconscious habits. His methodology, typically offered through high-level one-on-one coaching, is made accessible, offering actionable advice for anyone seeking to refine their professional and personal effectiveness.
