What Got You Here Won't Get You There
I just finished a new book. What Got You Here Won't Get You There by Marshall Goldsmith.
He lists 20 annoying habits that can and will annoy your superiors, peers and reports enough to prevent you from getting ahead.I found 8 that apply to me. I guess I should be glad I don't exhibit all 20.
One thing he recommended to help us be accountable for changes we want to make is to have a reliable person you can call every night who will ask you a list of predetermined questions. You answer the questions, they do not comment or judge. It is supposed to be more effective to answer a live person than to write the answers in a journal.
It is really difficult for me to think of someone who will not judge my questions, much less my answers. I guess that is why therapists and coaches charge for their services.
