Business growth is almost invariably accompanied by, and demands, personal growth. It’s part of the package that means an entrepreuner has to run the business, recruit, motivate and inspire other leaders as well.

You can’t pull off a high return venture without being a strong leader or becoming one in the process (often as business grows, if the personal resources are not there the the business will stall, or the person will opt out of the leadership role – or be forced out).

If you know this going in then you can prepare for it.

Marshall Goldsmith is a coach to CEOs. In this book, he lists the flaws in people that are holding them back from reaching the next level. Often these flaws are the same things that have helped people be succesful (so far), but are now acting against them.

So rather than telling you what to DO, it tells you what to STOP DOING.
