What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful by Marshall Goldsmith. This book really helped me make the transition between being valued primarily for my technical abilities and focusing more on interpersonal relationships and how that affects my ability to be part of a successful team. It was very humbling to read as I realized I had been guilty of so many of the things mentioned in this book. It really changed my career for the better.

What Got You Here Won't Get You There: How Successful People Become Even More Successful By Marshall Goldsmith I came to realize that sometimes to improve your teams' performance you don't need another tip to add into the behavior of the team members. actually the problem with mature team members is not that they don't know what to do; The problem is that they don't know what to STOP doing. And there is another thing that makes the situation even worse: Most of the time the team member who hurts others in the team don't realize that. But everyone in the room knows that something is wrong as the heat in the room rises. And this heat raise certainly will affect the team overall performance and unity. So this is a serious business.
