What’s holding you back? Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. Perhaps one small flaw–a behavior you barely even recognize–is the only thing that’s keeping you from where you want to be. Who can help? Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their sometimes unconscious annoying habits and attain a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But, in this audiobook, you get Marshall’s great advice without the hefty fee! What is the solution? The Harvard Business Review asked Goldsmith, “What is the most common problem faced by the executives that you coach?” Inside, he answers this question by discussing not only the key beliefs of successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold them back. He addresses the fundamental problems that often come with success–and offers ways to attack these problems. Goldsmith outlines twenty habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping you achieve a positive change in behavior.

— BookPage" This bestseller by dear client Marshall Goldsmith has undoubtedly had huge impact in many people's lives. It allows one to quietly do some inner work without any outside interventions and make some adjustments as needed. Really good work. "
— Kathryn, 2/3/2014" Interesting. You pick up some worthwhile concepts. "
— Rich, 2/3/2014" [Unabridged Audiobook] I thought this book would be much better. I listened to it because it had a 5-star rating on Amazon. I'm dissapointed... A little bit too much common sense for me. Plus, I did not agree with everything that was said in the book. Overall, I think it contains some very good and practical information, but the book was just not for me. Either way, I learned something. "
— Stanley, 1/24/2014" Guilty of several behaviors that this book identifies. I probably don't subscribe to all the viewpoints but by in large, it is a good read. "
— Michael, 1/14/2014" this is one book even achievers can ignore. very good one "
— Prasad, 1/14/2014" An easy read with practical tasks towards self improvement. "
— Tony, 1/14/2014" He makes too many assumptions about what the reader's problems are. He's used to working with a certain type of person and that person should read his book. It is less helpful for others outside that type. "
— Jennifer, 1/9/2014" Goldsmith's approach is unique in that he's not tell you what to do, but rather what not to do. In the book, he takes a practical look at 20 that could be killing your leadership potential. "
— Michael, 1/9/2014" Should be required reading--applies as much at home as it does at work. "
— Rob, 1/8/2014" Excellent. Love every page of it "
— Kamil, 12/8/2013" Don't miss this one for sure.Very good read. "
