Product Description:
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 book, his help is available for 1/10,000th of the price.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This WORKS!
As an executive coach, I ask clients to identify what of the 20 habits they are guilty of.The book becomes a safe, third-party place to see yourself in the mirror and be aware of how your behavior affects others.Recently a client sent me an email titled "That Darn Marshall".He said it took him 20 minutes to rewrite an email without the words "no", "but", or "however"...but he did it and the response he got back was positive.

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Guide to how not to be a Jerk
A book full of common sense on "How not to be a Jerk".Unfortunately, if you are a jerk, you are probably not going to read the book.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Book Is Incorrectly Named
Book should be named "Common Errors Even Successful People Make".It was a list of poor behaviors that would get most people fired - quickly.I was disappointed as I expected it to elevate my game.Instead, it listed many poor behaviors that anyone with a sense of self would not engage in.
