What Got You Here Won’t Get You There: How successful people become even more successful! By Marshall Goldsmith, 2007.

This New York Times Bestseller helps you take a look at what may be holding you back in your career and/or personal life. Goldsmith takes a practical look at behaviors and offers suggestions on how to change. Such as the CEO who sent out his company’s mission and direction in an e-mail. When asked how many employees opened the message, he answered, “I don’t know.” That response led to a series of questions with the same response…I don’t know. He was guilty of checking the box, marking something off his To Do List and not following up to see if the message was delivered and understood.  This book is written in an easy, quick to read style.
