Everything is about behaviorals

Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2024

Verified Purchase

Talent, discipline, and great technicals are helpful, but not everything: behaviorals are the bedrock - without proper behaviorals, not matter how good youbare in other areas, you won't go far, or, as the title perfectly captures, you won't "get there". 5/5

The skills and attributes that underpin a successful executive career are subtly different than those that will support a successful board career. This book was written for executives but the lessons apply to the boardroom. Possibly they apply even more in that environment. "The higher you go, the more your problems are behavioural" concludes Marshall Goldsmith after some twenty years of coaching senior executives in Fortune 500 companies.

Goldsmith coaches people to make simple changes. These simple changes are difficult to make.

His message is delivered simple and straight. It is a difficult read because you recognise yourself in the examples of undesirable behaviours. Goldsmith cuts through the clutter with the simple advice that we all do all of these things from time to time; we only need to fix the behaviours that are holding us back.

As Goldsmith only deals with successful people he is working to fine-tune an already high performance. This is not a `self-help 1.01' book. It is for people who have become successful while exhibiting certain behaviours but who are now held back by those behaviours. It is hard to change behaviours that are associated with success. This book is not about a quick fix. It is about a long and consistent process that, if followed, will help to build new habits.

Board members struggle to gain entry to the coterie of successful directors. Choosing the right habits to build could accelerate acceptance. Choosing the wrong ones could leave you as you are; only more frustrated. The process relies on external feedback and validation to select the behaviours that need changing. This is daunting for board members given the confidential nature of boardrooms and the team-based nature of the role. Having a third party gather the feedback and qualify the participants to provide feedback makes this easier. If you don't have a professional coach to help you extract the value from this book you will need a trustworthy friend who understands boards and boardroom dynamics.

The book is a call to action. It is especially relevant for aspiring directors or those at the start of their career. It is also great for those sudden changes in board careers such as taking on a committee chairmanship or moving into a different sector. When you are new you need to be more adept at the behavioural skills to compensate for your lack of track record.

It would be exciting to apply this long process to the board performance review to build a lasting improvement in the quality of board interactions.

This is a worthwhile book; it is good but not easy.

* Julie Garland McLellan is a professional non-executive director, board and governance consultant and mentor. She is the author of "The Director's Dilemma", "All Above Board: Great Governance for the Government Sector" and numerous articles on corporate strategy and governance.

An amazing journey of self awareness

Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024

Verified Purchase

This book takes you on a journey of self exploration and ends in one of the most inspiring ways I have seen. I finished the last couple of pages, reading out loud to my wife. Needless to say, we both have tears in our eyes and an appreciation for life that brings us both right to the present moment.

It is no doubt a book about habits we al have that impact us professionally and does a great job illustrating examples that we can all relate to. But most exciting is how you Start to reflect on how you treat your friends and family and the identity we have that bleeds across the professional / personal line.

Pick up this book, read it with intent and there is no way you don't walk away changed forever

Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2008

Marshall Goldsmith did a wonderful job of explaining how to remain in your position of success. If you're not there yet, you definitely learn what not to do.

This was a read that my boss strongly suggested the whole department read, however, everytime Marshall mentioned one of the 20 flaws, we all could identify a manager that had those same characteristics (and most times, it was the one that recommended we read the book!). He describes the flaws in such a way that you're not embarassed to own up to them and want to take steps to change. He also offers a perspective of the 360-degree feedback that made us realize that none of us were using it in the manner in which it was created.

Great read, great pace, it was as if you were in the room with him. Very funny and relatable. I highly recommend it to any manager that is wondering why they have high turnover in their department or why they haven't been able to forge true professional relationships with the people they work with.
