Synopsis
The path to success is rarely easy or direct, and good mentors are hard to find. In Getting There, thirty leaders in diverse fields share their secrets to navigating the rocky road to the top. In an honest, direct, and engaging way, these role models describe the obstacles they faced, the setbacks they endured, and the vital lessons they learned. They dispense not only essential and practical career advice, but also priceless wisdom applicable to life in general. Getting There is for everyone—from students contemplating their futures to the vast majority of us facing challenges or seeking to reach our potential.
Tom’s Take:
This book is another great collection of leadership stories from incredible sources. A book with wisdom from Warren Buffett, Jillian Michaels, and Michael Bloomberg? Read about the road to success from these public figures and more who excel in a variety of careers. Each person also offers advice in addition to their candid recollections about success. An excellent book, especially for anyone looking for a mentor or career inspiration. It’s a great way to get a taste of a number of leaders across industries that you may not be familiar with- but the lessons of great leadership are not to be missed.
