(with apologies to Monty Python)  Rather than the usual, "you have to change and do this and develop that", Marshall Goldsmith shows us that it's not what you should start doing, but what you should STOP doing to move to the next level.  This is one of the most refreshing books on leadership tha...

  I guess you could call some of these "horse sense". (Ok so it wasn't very punny.) "Half the world is composed of people who have something to say and can't, and the other half who have nothing to say and keep on saying it!"  -- Robt Frost "There are two types of people: those who divide people ...

First, let me warn you - Verbosity is my middle name.  I have never been accused of being a man of few words.
