America’s most sought-after executive coach shows how to climb the last few rungs of the ladder
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, jargonfree 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 audiobook, his help is available free of charge.
Marc Cashman narrates this common-sense advice book with the tone of a counselor. The presentation on the characteristics of success is a lively mix of case studies and personal stories. Cashman delivers information as a conference speaker would, varying his volume from conspiratorial to attention-getting while reflecting upon how supervisors can manage and inspire their staffs. The author contends that true change will come only when managers realize they need to reflect on their own skills and that, often, recognizing that one has a problem is the hardest step. Beware! Listeners may find that they often present negative behaviors they have never before been aware of. D.L.M. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine
