One HUGE Leadership Lesson!

Here's just a bit from Marshall Goldsmith's, What Got You Here, Won’t Get Your There. How Successful People Become Even More Successful!

“Happy are they that can hear their detractions and put them to mending” – William Shakespeare, Much ado About Nothing

You Are Here
It doesn’t take much to get people reoriented – out of the maze and back on the right path. These problems are not life-threatening diseases (although ignored for too long they can destroy a career). They’re not deep-seated neuroses that require years of therapy or tons of medication to erase. More often than not, they are simple behavioral tics, bad habits that we repeat dozens of times a day in the workplace, which can be cured by (a) pointing them out, (b) showing the havoc they cause among the people surrounding us, and (c) demonstrating that with a slight behavioral tweak we can achieve a much more appealing effect.
“Put a comma in the wrong place and the whole sentence is screwed up.”
Actors stepping on a line. Writers misusing commas. Chefs leaving out a key ingredient. That’s what we’re talking about here in the workplace. People who do one annoying thing repeatedly on the job and don’t realize that this small flaw may sabotage their otherwise golden career.
And worse, they do not realize that (a) it’s happening and (b) they can fix it.
You Are Here
You can get there.
But you have to understand that what got you here won’t get you there.
