Story
In business, the right behaviors matter. But getting it right is tricky. Even when we acknowledge the need to change what we do and how we do it, life has a habit of getting in the way, upsetting even the best-laid plans. And just how do we manage those situations that can provoke even the most rational among us into behaving in ways we would rather forget?

“Coaches rely far too much on asking open-ended questions,” says Marcia Reynolds. But questions only seek answers — inquiry provides insight. When, instead of just questions, clients hear their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs spoken by someone else, it prompts them to critically consider how their thinking affects their goals. Reynolds cites the latest brain science to show why reflective inquiry works and provides techniques, tips, and structures for creating breakthrough conversations.

We've all had experiences with two dramatically different types of leaders. The first type drain intelligence, energy, and capability from the people around them and always need to be the smartest people in the room. These are the idea killers, the energy sappers, the diminishers of talent and commitment. On the other side of the spectrum are leaders who use their intelligence to amplify the smarts and capabilities of the people around them.

Finite games, like football or chess, have known players, fixed rules, and a clear endpoint. The winners and losers are easily identified. Infinite games, games with no finish line, like business or politics, or life itself, have players who come and go. The rules of an infinite game are changeable, while infinite games have no defined endpoint. There are no winners or losers - only ahead and behind. The question is, how do we play to succeed in the game we’re in? In this revelatory new audiobook, Simon Sinek offers a framework for leading with an infinite mindset.

Publisher's Summary
Who can help? Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their (sometimes unconscious) annoying habits and attaining a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But with this audiobook, you'll get Marshall's great advice without the hefty fee!
What is the solution? The Harvard Business Review asked Goldsmith, "What is the most common problem faced by the executives that you coach?" Inside, he answers this question by discussing not only the key beliefs of successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold them back. He addresses the fundamental problems that often come with success and offers ways to attack them. Goldsmith outlines 20 habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping executives achieve a positive change in behavior.
What the critics say
"[Goldsmith's] steps in coaching for success are simple, honest, without artifice." (Booklist)

Identify and fix common interpersonal mistakes.
This book is for anyone struggling to break through to the next level or wants to find and fix their flaws. Directed primarily at management or those with high influence. The book reads like an extended playbook. First triage your challenges. Given the twenty habits listed in the book, your area to improve is likely covered. I like how each one is explained and provided simple steps (not easy) to address then. Using through 360 reviews find the most important habit. Then comes the rollout. Apologize. Gather more feedback. How do you communicate your change? Who should be involved? Sharing your progress and making the impact you need. This is an easy book to read, but I think will be hard to implement. Change takes time. It does everything to set you up for success and it is your job to take the next step. I am looking forward to reading it again and again as I try to apply the lessons.

Well Worth it
Very useful book. Even if you don't implement the full improvement strategy of apologizing and advertising it and following up, the various issues discussed are obviously true once you think about them. As the author says throughout, many of the solutions are simple, though not necessarily easy to implement. I would recommend this to anyone who works in an office environment, not just executives. In fact, the earlier in your career you recognize the issues the author discusses, the more effective you will be.

Good book, but didn't lend to the audio format
I really liked this book and found the content to be valuable. However, more than other audiobooks that I've listened to, I found that this didn't lend itself to the format too well. I often felt like I needed to take notes or look back on a list (which of course wasn't available). The audiobook format left me wanting to get a copy from the library which I could copy a few tables and lists out of. This hasn't been my experience as much with other audio books.

Not a "how to" book
The book lists 21 bad behaviors that can stalk an executive's career. The list is not an earth shattering revelation, such as competitive even for trivia matters, desire to add two cents to every conversation, overuse of "no", "but", and "however", inability to praise, and deflecting blame for any wrongdoing. I think the author is probably a good consultant but not a good writer. He uses a lot of sports analogy and sometimes poorly applied, like comparing the gripping of a golf club to listening (I think he was trying to explain how before taking action, you have to pay attention or something... it was just confusing). Also, this book doesn't work well as a "how to" book. The examples he gives are based on his consulting jobs where a 360 evaluation was done for the executive. It's easy for others to see your flaws (such as making sarcastic or negative remarks). They are the victims of your bad behaviors and feel the effects; you don't. Also, many people think and act differently from you. One or two individuals may find your behavior normal, while seven or eight find it annoying. This book is good if you're already considering fixing some of your bad habits. There are tips on how to get feedback from people and stay motivated to improve. If you're stalled in your career and can't figure why, this book won't answer that question.

A Must Read for Correcting Hidden or Known Flaws
If you could sum up What Got You Here Won't Get You There in three words, what would they be?
Change!!! And this doesn't mean changing others, it means changing yourself. Marshall Goldsmith shows us how.
What was one of the most memorable moments of What Got You Here Won't Get You There?
Each of us has character flaws, either unknown or known that we refuse to recognize as needing corrected. Change, however, is not only about recognizing what needs to be different about yourself, we need a reason to change, and then the ability to fix the flaw.
What about Marc Cashman’s performance did you like?
He is an excellent reader. He makes you feel that he wrote the book, which is very unusual when listening to an audio book.
What did you learn from What Got You Here Won't Get You There that you would use in your daily life?
Each of us need not only awareness of our faults, but we need the help of others in bringing about change within ourselves.
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this book as one of the best I have read or listened to on audio for aiding in making all of us better people, parents, spouses, coworkers, or bosses.

Brutally Practical Approach to Changing Yourself
Of all the books I have read which address techniques to make me a better person and more effective colleague, this may be close to the best. Marshall applies a brutally practical perspective that anyone who wants to change can benefit from.

Not about 360
I enjoyed the book. For me the value was in hearing Goldsmith talk about annoying & distracting habits, some of which plague me. In listening to his discussion of the habits I learned a few things about myself. Now I can change a few behaviors that may have been annoying others and holding me back.

Prompts one to evaluate and change his or her behavior
I like how fast I saw positive results in myself and others by practicing what I learned : for example , sometimes simply responding“thanks” is enough.
