Embarking on life's journey isn't always intuitive. | Sonu Goswami
Embarking on life's journey isn't always intuitive. While some effortlessly navigate with an internal compass, many of us rely on external guides — maps, mentors, and the occasional stumble in the dark. Yet, there's a hidden irony: even the most detailed map can become obsolete over time. This forms the core of Marshall Goldsmith's 📔 book, *What Got You Here Won't Get You There.* Good morning, everyone! 😊 🙏 In the professional world🌍, this metaphor is particularly poignant. As we climb the career ladder🎢 fueled by specific #behaviors and #strategies , what if some of these once-winning traits subtly morph into roadblocks to further advancement? Goldsmith, a renowned executive coach who has worked with CEOs and teams at Google, Coca-Cola, and Johnson & Johnson, unravels 20 such hidden habits in his book. Success Duality: The main point of the book reveals a paradox—>beliefs that helped in the past might now hold back future success. More precisely, successful individuals often hold 4️⃣ beliefs that may hinder their progress. 1️⃣ I have succeeded: You climbed the ⛰🚵♀️ mountain, reached the top, and now feel invincible. But beware, the view might make you forget the path, the stumbles, and the helping hands. 2️⃣ I can succeed: You believe in yourself, and that's your rocket 🚀fuel. But watch out, too much confidence can blind you to things you need to learn and the lucky breaks along the way. 3️⃣ I will succeed: You're a🎯goal-chasing cheetah, driven and tireless. But slow down sometimes, or you might end up with too many projects or taking unnecessary risks. 4️⃣ I choose to succeed: You're the captain of your ship🚢, steering your own course. But remember, tight control can make turning around or changing direction feel like a struggle against yourself. Goldsmith outlines 7️⃣ steps for lasting changes in interpersonal relationships. 1. Get Feedback: Understand your strengths and weaknesses through feedback, like a guide on life's map. 2. Apologize: Start change with a simple apology based on received feedback. 3. Declare Your Intentions: Clearly state your plans to change and support them with actions. 4. Listen Actively: Engage actively in listening, uncovering the key ingredients in our summary bundle. 5. Express Your Gratitude: Regularly thank the 25 most influential people in your life. 6. Follow Up: Continuously act on feedback and follow up consistently. 7. Practice Feedforward: Embrace growth with proactive ideas, steering clear of criticism's sting. ✅ Lesson: Your biggest wins can blind you to bigger ones—> Stay Open-Minded, Stay Hungry. | 102 comments on LinkedIn
