The IBM Competitive Edge Book Club, open to Sales, Marketing, and Communications professionals at IBM, voted and selected "What Got You Here Won't Get You There" as the Q2 2009 book selection. The feedback regarding the book and Marshall's messages was extremely positive. In the feedback from the members, we ask them the question - "What will you do differently in your job since your study of this book." Some of the replies directly from the members included:
- "Brings into focus the ability to look at the things that you do day-to-day and re-evaluate what can be done, should done and what can be ignored or eliminated."
- "I will stop and breathe and ask myself at least one of the questions Marshall suggests: will my comment increase the commitment of the other person or will this benefit me and my family. then after that, if the answer is "no" ... is it worth it?"
- "I'll try to spend more time coaching / listening and resist the temptation to "add value to everything."
- "Appreciated his perspective of the customer - loved the waiter example."
- "I will be much more cognizant of the twenty habits limiting future success. Likewise I intend to use some of the suggestions for effective peer feedback solicitation. Finally, when in a mentoring position, this is a book I will readily recommend."
Marshall - Thank you, your energy and enthusiasm enables us to think differently and strategically to make those changes in ourselves.
