Success Kills

Sidestep the Snares that Will Steal Your Dreams

The danger is subtle and hidden. Those qualities that propel men and women to the pinnacles of success can also be the same qualities that lead to disgrace and ruin. Success can be both a blessing and a curse without a clear set of boundaries by which to live. Goethe said, “By nature we have no defect that could not become a strength, no strength that could not be come a defect.” So how can today's leaders protect themselves from making wrong decisions and losing much of that for which they have worked so hard? When you finally achieve what you define as success, how do you maintain your equilibrium and sense of balance to ensure you finish your career and life well? In this follow-up book to Why Great Men Fall, author Wayde Goodall points out principles and safeguards on which we can focus to ensure excellence in all we do.

Core questions to be considered include:

• Should you fear success?
• Why do so many fail when they attain success?
• Is failure considered a friend or a foe?
• Do you have a balanced ego or a pre-occupation with self?
