Summary of Sally Helgesen & Marshall Goldsmith's How Women Rise

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 What Got You Here Won’t Get You There is a book by Marshall Goldsmith that outlines the habits that hinder high-achieving people from reaching their full potential. These are the same habits that help people achieve high positions, but they often undermine them as they seek to move further up.

#2 Marshall’s coaching base is typically about 80 percent male, which explains the habits in What Got You Here. But Marshall has noticed that women often face different challenges as they seek to advance in their careers and operate on a bigger playing field, so he developed a different approach that addressed different behaviors.

#3 The aha for Marshall was that successful women’s tendency to critique themselves opens them up to different behavioral habits than men, who are more likely to accept recognition and deflect blame.

#4 The difference between the two speakers was that Marshall was more spontaneous and forgiving, while Sally was more driven and perfectionistic. The audience enjoyed themselves more and probably learned more when Marshall delivered the speech.
