What Got You Here Won't Get You There

Your Biggest Career Obstacle? It Might Be You.

Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world's most celebrated executive coaches, has spent decades working with the highest-performing leaders on the planet. His conclusion? The very habits and behaviours that drove your success so far are often the ones holding you back from the next level.

What Got You Here Won't Get You There is a Wall Street Journal and New York Times bestseller that has transformed the careers of CEOs, senior executives, and ambitious professionals worldwide.

The 20 Habits That Hold Leaders Back

Goldsmith identifies the subtle but destructive behavioural patterns that derail even the most talented people — from the need to win at all costs and adding too much value, to not listening, failing to express gratitude, and making excuses. These aren't character flaws; they're success habits gone wrong.

What You'll Take Away

• A clear-eyed framework for identifying your own limiting behaviours
• Practical, field-tested techniques for changing habits that no longer serve you
• Strategies for soliciting honest feedback and acting on it without defensiveness
• A roadmap for becoming the leader others genuinely want to follow

Who This Book Is For

Senior managers, executives, entrepreneurs, and high achievers who have already tasted success and are ready to break through to the next level. If you've ever wondered why smart, talented people plateau — this book has the answer.
