What Got You Here Won't Get You There: A Round Table Comic: How Successful People Become Even More Successful Comic – August 20, 2013

Great book to remind Baby Boomers that we need to stay sharp, relevant, and open to new growth opportunities

A good, quick read that hits the high points of the original book. A couple quick notes:1. IT'S A COMIC BOOK/GRAPHIC NOVEL. Sorry for the caps, but a lot of the reviews seems shocked that it's an abridged comic/graphic novel format of the book. It's a comic. More pictures than words. A comic. That makes it a super quick read, and pretty fun. The description says it's an 80-page comic. This should come as no surprise!2. There are some annoying editing/continuity problems in the book. There seem to be some problems with keeping numbering consistent with transactional flaws 5-10, and some of the other text seems to have proofing errors that shouldn't be too hard to catch in such a short work. Ultimately, this is not a condemnation of the book, but the sloppiness of the editing and proofreading process is disappointing, especially if one of the goals here is to make graphic novel format more widely accepted and not just for superheroes.As others have noted, after reading this condensed overview, I will almost certainly be buying the original to get the full picture and context of the "20 flaws". If the message resonates with you, you will want to look at the unabridged original as well. If this quick read doesn't float your boat or ring your bell, it's probably and hour or less of your time, and there are some useful bits in here even if you're not a fan.

I totally enjoyed this book. I already knew Marshall as took part of a professional training involving his book “triggers”, and was absolutely interesting and practical. In the course this book was recommended for the value it had.So I gave it a chance. But when I saw this version I decided to take this approach. I am a visual person, so images are more understandable. This comic book gives you a perfect approach to how you need to manage certain behaviors in order to move forward towards being a better version of yourself. Totally worth the investment they put on it. I recommend it for the group of leaders that are fighting with the discipline of reading books, but n the other side, devour all kinds of magazines or videos.

The comic picture format quickly conveys information that takes much longer to do in a text only format.The pictures also come to mind more quickly for me than the words when I find myself in a similar situation.Great book for helping bring into focus negative habits I didn't realize I had that are holding me back, an how I can change them.

Goldsmith must think he is a cut above most executives - leaders - leaders to be, and likely other coaches. What he has to say is not new - at all, and yet he seems to shoot himself in the foot. Leadership is a way of life, the way many of us operate in general, and in specific. Yes, others do have to learn and the teachers, modern and seasoned, including colleagues, associates, experts, and well known authors, for instance, are numerous: Rohn, Hill, Mandino, Holmes, Butterworth, Helge, Tracy, Hicks, Canfield, Carnegie, Whately, Pink, Rand, and many, many more. Coaching, in which Marshall claims expertise, is actually spiritual in nature. It is when you tap into your inner core, gain clarity, embrace the authentic you, and become confident, the qualities of leadership can evolve and naturally sustain your true essence. Leadership also does not mean being subservient nor that you acquiesce your accomplishments and let another take recognition for your efforts and successes. It's about harmony, integration of all things considered including preservation of self while helping others to grow and succeed. The other thing is, as with so many self-published books, the same material is used 3-4 times throughout the book. Redundancy is a filler, a cheap shot at the public, and boring.

Good info but it really is a comic book and a short read. If you're looking to dig in, this isn't it. Good info and nice graphics !

This book was recommended to me by my career coach last year. I only got time to read it now. First of all, by mistake I ordered the comics version and was a little bit disappointed when I opened it. I do not even read comic books!With that being said, I am quite happy I read the comics and not full blown book, because I might have not finished the latter.The tips are good and straight forward. They follow common sense, and for the same reason the couple of comics pages per tip was more than sufficient.The book is an eye opener to the obvious behaviours that are being neglected in our day to day life. I do pay more attention to how I interact with co-workers after reading it, and really believe that if followed and implemented, the rules can turn anyone into a better version of themselves (not only at work but also outside of the office).

This kind of book is very appealing to my university freshmen in Korea. Since they're at an elite university they think they've made it, and it's useful for them to think about whether in fact they have made it--or even how thinking they made it can then limit their growth. Plus most of them love visual stories, having grown up with Korean and Japanese animation and manga. I'm considering making this book required reading for next semester.
