When Marshall Goldsmith invited to help successful leader correct behavior to achieve better results, it monitors each client step, talking to the people around him and, based on this, it helps to grow in personal terms. You'll have to do it all yourself.

Most of the book is devoted to the triggering mechanisms of undesirable behavior. Using real examples, the author shows that the environment has a huge impact on our behavior.

Goldsmith points out that the triggers are not always obvious.

In the book you will also find a tool that will help you to respond to external circumstances. This special active issues that give rise to positive changes. They need to be set on a regular basis.

I advise you not to miss yet another aspect of the Goldsmith:
