Over the past almost six months I have recorded a series of vlog posts based on the work of Marshall Goldsmith and his Twenty Habits
That Hold You Back from the Top which can be found in his amazing book, “What Got You Here Won’t get You There” published in 2007 by Hyperion. This has been and continues to be a very influential work for me personally and has informed a lot of my thinking on leadership and what it means to be a leader in, not only organizations but in life in general. Below are the links to the vlog posts in the order Marshall presents them in his book plus an epilogue. Again, these are my interpretations, thoughts, and reflections and how they have influenced me and how I work with my clients – enjoy.
