The 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, jargon-free 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.
"Goldsmith [is] soon slated for bestsellerdom. His steps in coaching for success are simple, honest, without artifice."
Marshall Goldsmith has been featured in the Wall Street Journal (which named him one of the top executive educators) and Forbes, and was the subject of an extended profile in the New Yorker, titled "The Better Boss."
