About this listen
“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.

Known for being 2018’s most-booked female speaker in the world and now a nationally-syndicated talk show host, Mel Robbins answers these questions and more with research-based strategies that you can put into action immediately.

I absolutely loved this book!
I love how this book explained how to truly excel with the "Fixed-Flexible-Freestyle" approach; cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset. It’s all about embracing the ability to pivot, adjust, and adapt. This mindset empowers you to seize opportunities as they arise and bounce back when things don’t go as planned. Flexibility is your greatest asset! I love the Coaching Corners as it brought balance packed with so much wisdom. This is most definitely a modern classic. - @timprattjr (IG)
