One of the blurbs on the back cover of the book quotes WSJ saying that Marshall Goldsmith is the #1 executive coach who charges a six figure dollar fee for his coaching services and that we can get that same advice for 20-odd dollars. Believe me, it's true.

This book is a must-read for any person holding positions of authority (leaders) who have tasted success in life. The same qualities that gave us success become roadblocks for moving to the next level, and blind us to our bad habits.

The author's self-deprecating style of humor is funny but the insightful advice would not be missed by anyone. As he himself observes, just knowing or even accepting these ineffective habits of behavior is not sufficient to make leaders change themselves.

Marshall Goldsmith also explains his "feedforward" approach that is just a simple way of looking at what we normally call feedback but makes it much more effective. Highly enjoyable, highly useful.
