What Got You Here Won't Get You There
How Successful People Become Even More Successful
The habits that made you successful can hold you back.
Goldsmith identifies twenty interpersonal habits, like winning too much, adding too much value, and not listening, that keep already successful people from advancing further. He shows that at senior levels, the obstacle is rarely skill but behavior. The book offers a practical process of feedback, apology, and follow-up to change these habits.
As founders grow, the very traits that drove early success, decisiveness, intensity, needing to be right, can become liabilities with bigger teams. Goldsmith gives a clear method for spotting and fixing the behavioral blind spots that limit leaders.
