• Author: Marshall Goldsmith

Written by a career coach, this guide to success in the corporate workplace is for those who have risen to upper-level management positions and aspire to the highest levels. Pointing out that this last leg of the journey can be the most difficult, Marshall Goldsmith identifies behaviors--some of them quite subtle--that can sabotage a career, and helps to refine leadership skills and personal presentation. His list of bad habits includes many commonly shared ones, and much of his advice is transferable to other positions and work situations.

An executive coach presents a straightforward, effective program for achieving success in the business world, identifying important habits and behavioral problems that are keeping one from reaching the top, while offering helpful suggestions for overcoming and changing such issues.

"Though Goldsmith deals with touchy-feely material more typical of a self-help book...his approach to curing self-destructive behavior is much harder-edged."
