Description

"Marshall and Asheesh are the right people at the right time to tackle the important work of modernizing the definition of achievement. This book is a must-read and destined to be a modern classic." --Dr. Jim Yong Kim, twelfth president, World Bank

Today's aspiring leaders are redefining achievement. They understand achievement as a process for individual empowerment--discovering who they are, where they want to go, and how they want to change themselves and the world around them. That world is more global, decentralized, dynamic, and diverse than ever before. Rather than just setting goals for achievement, today's graduates are focusing on the process of achieving goals, resetting and pivoting to face new realities, and finding happiness in the journey.

Classic books on achievement like those by Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy, and Stephen Covey were written for a much different world. Today's young leaders need a fresh approach for achieving success in their lives and careers. Enter Asheesh Advani and Marshall Goldsmith.

In Modern Achievement, JA (Junior Achievement) Worldwide CEO Asheesh Advani and celebrated leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith (What Got You Here Won't Get You There) offer thirty actionable lessons for personal and career success. Each lesson is part of an innovative Fixed-Flexible-Freestyle leadership framework that helped Advani to lead JA Worldwide and propel the organization to annual recognition as one of the top 10 NGOs in the world.

Using vivid storytelling from the lives of Advani and Goldsmith as well as established leaders and young achievers they have met, Modern Achievement empowers emerging leaders to claim their individual power to grow, achieve, and lead others.

Critical Reviews

"Fixed-Flexible-Freestyle provides a profoundly useful framework for thriving in turbulent times. By embracing the inevitable messiness of achievement, this wise book teaches young leaders how to iterate their way to fuller, more meaningful lives."

--Daniel H. Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive, When, and The Power of Regret

"Modern Achievement is breaking the mold! To be an effective leader for the future, outdated paradigms must be replaced with the kind of innovative approach you'll find in this book. Asheesh and Marshall have dug deeply into this sea change in work and life, drawing from the collected wisdom of top management thinkers as well as young strivers from around the world to create a revolutionary guidebook to success and leadership for the next generation." --Mel Robbins, New York Times bestselling author and host of the award-winning Mel Robbins Podcast

"Asheesh Advani has a global perspective on success and achievement that is rare. This book is forward-looking and practical. Every young person should read it!" --Ahmad Alhendawi, secretary general, World Organization of the Scout Movement

"Marshall and Asheesh are the right people at the right time to tackle the important work of modernizing the definition of achievement. They approach the task with humility and ambition in equal measure. This book is a must-read and destined to be a modern classic." --Dr. Jim Yong Kim, twelfth president, World Bank

"Who better than the CEO of JA Worldwide and the legendary Marshall Goldsmith to meld the wisdom of the past with the fresh thinking of the new generation to redefine success for a changing world? Both timeless and timely, Modern Achievement is a necessary book for today's aspiring leaders."

--Hubert Joly, former CEO, Best Buy, and author of The Heart of Business
