Get Better at Getting Better

Description

What makes people succeed? Why do some people succeed, while others struggle despite working hard? This book is based on the insight that success is not about how good you are but how powerful a model you have to improve how good you are. Chandramouli Venkatesan calls it the Get-Better Model, or GBM. Successful people are those who are able to build a powerful GBM to continuously improve themselves, and this book will show you how to do it. A GBM is made up of four key components and these must be practised deliberately for getting better-getting better by yourself; getting better by leveraging others; making others get better; and making and implementing a get-better plan. This powerful and life-changing book thus shows how you can constantly get better to unlock your potential at work and in life.
