Why Can’t They Be Like Me?

A Parable of Shifting Perspectives

A PARABLE OF GROWTH, RESILIENCE, AND SUCCESS

Todd Turner’s billion-dollar baby is sinking—fast—and the start-up founder is doing what he’s always done: blame other people. That’s when a chance encounter with a legendary executive coach teaches him that he’ll need to change his actions if he has any hope of turning his business—and life—around. After all, what got him here won’t get him there. Will a great coach be what Todd needs to confront reality and step up as a leader? And will the lessons he learns help him take strategic actions to transform his company—and his life?

Drawing on the wisdom of Marshall Goldsmith, the world’s most renowned executive coach, Why Can’t They Be Like Me? is a parable about growth, resilience, and success in the face of failure. Coauthored with Claire Díaz-Ortiz, it asks the question: How do you change the trajectory of a leader in crisis?
