What Got You Here Won't Get You There - Marshall Goldsmith

Stop being jerk

When someone offers a less than brilliant idea in a meeting , Don't criticize it. Say nothing

When someone challenges one of your decisions,don't argue with them or make excuses.Quietly consider it and say nothing.

When someone makes a helpful suggestion,don't remind them that you already knew that.Thank them and say nothing

The higher you go , the more your problems are behavioral.

Your people skills often make the difference in how high you go.

As we advance in our careers, behavioral changes are often the only significant changes we can make.
