- Good - but not easy
The skills and attributes that underpin a successful executive career are subtly different than those that will support a successful board career. This book was written for executives but the lessons apply to the boardroom. Possibly they apply even more in that environment. "The higher you go, the more your problems are behavioural" concludes Marshall Goldsmith after some twenty years of coaching senior executives in Fortune 500 companies.

- Marshall Goldsmith Makes Change Possible

Rating: - Fun, Simple, Practical
Dr. Goldsmith's book -- basically 20 behaviors that won't get me from here to there and 7 that will-- is a pleasure to read. It's funny; it's poignant; it's practical. So many authors get so involved in their own writing that they lose the message -- and me as a reader. Dr. Goldsmith keeps it real. He says what he means and moves on to the next topic. And by the way, it's all really helpful information. Wow. What a package!
