Get Better at Getting Better
To achieve extraordinary success, you need something other than core capabilities like analytical skills, people skills, conceptual and intuitive skills, hard work and hunger for success. Chandramouli Venkatesan identifies this as developing the capability to succeed and continuously improve that capability. He calls this the Get Better Model, or GBM—your model to continuously improve how good you are.
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 shows you how you can unlock your potential at work, and in life, and constantly get better.

I remember reading somewhere that no one cares about your efforts, only the results. What I learned from 'Get Better at Getting Better' results is not everything but getting better is equally important. We think that if we produce results then we must be automatically getting better. According to Chandramouli Venkatesan success is not about how good you are; it is about how powerful and effective a model you have to improve how good you are. He calls this model the Get Better Model (GBM). All through the book the down to earth language is evident. He gives a very interesting analogy to explain the GBM. Imagine there is a professional chef who is cooking at a fancy restaurant and there are people like us cooking at home, making routine meals. Who do you think is getting better faster as a cook, and why? Well, the chef is getting better faster because there is a lot more deliberateness in a chef's cooking, while daily home cooking is a lot less deliberate and a lot more mechanical. A chef will make a dish, get feedback, tweak the recipe and make a deliberate effort to improve the dish. He wants us to reflect on whom we are like at work - like the chef, or like the people who cook mechanically every day and assume we must be getting better in some way by doing that. The answer is anybody's guess. You must have a deliberate strategy for getting better, which is different from just working harder. Why is getting better crucial to success is what this book is all about.

I had bought this book long back but could get around to reading it only after I learnt of the author's death. A simple but fundamental proposition is put forth in the book - we need to focus on getting better each day in order to get better results. We are so obsessed with the results that we ignore the "machine" that is producing the result. Hence, the Author prescribes having a "getting better model" i.e. having a way of constantly learning and becoming better at what we do.
The Book describes various methods of developing this model but for me the take away has been that both professionally and personally, one needs to keep learning and it is important to learn in a deliberate/systematic manner.

The best self help book I ever read. I would rate it higher than all other self help books like “Eat that Frog”, or Greatest Salesman in the World “, or “Mega Living by Robin Sharma “ etc.

Get Better at Getting Better
It was quite a fascinating read with a wealth of experiences on what it takes to get better in one’s life and career. I have truly enjoyed it, and couldn’t agree more about the thoughts in this book.
In this digital world, there is quite a lot of buzz around Machine learning/ML (application of AI that provides the system the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed) – however, the better rhetorical question to ponder upon is – aren’t we humans supposed to be good at it in the first place? This certainly needs a good introspection and no debate. As the numbers and targets take more precedence in today’s cut-throat competitive organizations … people tend to rush towards results and often miss the learnings which they could have done during the journey. Each one of us has a profound capacity not only to get the results but also learn from it and get better every day (or rather “every hour” as Chandramouli often says 😊). As the saying goes, it’s not the destination, but the journey as well that matters. This book exactly focuses on the topic of taking time to “get better” by contemplating with right questions (“what” and “how”) to arrive at building a better learning model (GBM – Get-Better-Model).
Myths that get busted:
• Experience “IS EQUAL TO” Growth (Not really!).
• More time on the job = More “experienced” (Not always!)
• Arriving at results is important (No. There is a lot more than that!)
Key takeaways:
• Success = Effort X Getting better. One has better success over others in the same duration if he has a better “Getting better” model.
In the long run, “getting better” is important than “getting ahead”
• Spend more time sharpening your axe, than cutting the wood.
• Don’t stop at the answer, get to the method of deriving the answer. Introspect on how your method of deriving the answer improves every time.
• Build a “deliberate” habit to pursue Reflection and Review process
• Rely on “The Pilot’s view”, to “do the right thing vs. doing the thing right” and measure your core capabilities and devise an action plan accordingly.
• Change your intent from “results-first” to a “get-better” intent
• Embrace your team to focus on “Why”. Building a get-better team will create an eco-system that works towards a holistic vision and results.
• Knowing is different from embedding. Learning doesn’t end with reading, but by imbibing and integrating the distilled wisdom into your life and thus create inflection points. Take quality time to exploit the learnings.
• What gets measured, get improved. So, identify ways to measure “how to get better” and not just results.
• Every job provides learning, provided you have the “right lens” to learn.
• “Get better” is a “deliberate” habit, and works best when integrated into your life in all aspects
• Why relationship building is essential for executing change. Why major company acquisitions fail and lose the best people – ability to spot what change is needed vs. the ability to execute the change.
I strongly recommend this book!

Get better at getting better by Chandramouli Venkatesan
While all the self help rant the same stuff, this book is crisp & clear with the sole purpose of what it wants to deliver. I would like to recommend this book to everyone who like me are unable to find some answers or I will say who have poor GBM (getting better model)
Why you should read this book??
1. Wisdom imparted by the author is applicable not just in sales and marketing ( business) but in any real life scenario where we just stop ourselves from going any further, the moment we know the answer rather than knowing the method of finding the answer.
2. The author has not given any generalized information like stay positive, change your subconscious thinking, but dwelled on various methods to solve problems in a manner which could help not only for that given challenge but for similar challenges for which one may be future ready for.
This book literally made me to write down my shortcomings and areas where I can get better.
Read this book and surely you will learn something!!

Book talks about the “what to get better” and “how to get better” components which will help us to build a better and effective “Get Better Model”
Mouli shares that Success is not about how good you are; it is about how powerful and effective a model you have to improve how good you are. Mouli calls this model the Get Better Model (GBM).
How GBM
1. Getting better by yourself: Deliberately getting better from what you do on a daily basis by yourself, without external help.
2. Get better by leveraging others: Leveraging all external resources available to you to get better.
3. Make others get better: Building an ecosystem around you that multiplies your effort.
4. Making and implementing a get-better plan: Making a plan and implementing it to get better in a few areas of focus.
Like his earlier book Catalyst in this book also the language is simple & learnings are practical.. though this book could have been shorter as I found some points repetitive
• Success = Effort X Getting better. One has better success over others in the same duration if he has a better “Getting better” model.

I recently finished reading Chandramouli Venkatesan's new book, get better at getting better, a very interesting take on ‘What makes people succeed?’ Why do some people succeed, while others find it very difficult?
I have read Mouli’s first book, Catalyst, which was about what to do to be successful. After reading the Catalyst, I was able to understand the success model better. I could relate to the thought that, the time you put in your career is not automatically converted into the experience and algorithm that will drive your real individual growth and career success. To convert your time into the experience, you require a catalyst, and that catalyst is TMRR: Target, Measure, Review, and Reflect.
get better at getting better is a great follow-up to the Catalyst. It is about building the capability, to build a model to be successful. The book talks about the “what to get better” and “how to get better” components which will help us to build a better and effective “Get Better Model (GBM)” to be successful. To excel in today's VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous) world, it is not about how good you are; it is about how powerful and effective a model you have, to improve how good you are. If you have a strong model – then you will be able to multiplicate the model and achieve success in different roles and domains throughout your career. This is my takeaway from the book GBAGB.
Whether you are a manager, entrepreneur, doctor or someone just starting out your professional journey, this book will help you to apprehend most certainly something that you have battled with – or are doing so.
Try reading the book this weekend and try to reflect on what your get better method is and how you can leverage and inculcate it in your day to day life to accomplish a long-term success.

This book is amazingly written by Get Better at Getting Better
Chandramouli Venkatesan. The main concept of this book is how to get better at getting better as a book name.
This book gives you a deep concept & understanding how to get better.
Success Equation by Chandramouli Venkatesan:-
Success is not about how good you are, but about how powerful and effective a model you have to improve how good you are.
Success = Effort*GBM
In all the book, authors focus on how to improve our GBM (Get Better Model).
A GBM is made up of four key components and these must be practiced deliberately for getting better.
1. Getting better by yourself: This is about deliberately getting better from what you do on a daily basis by yourself, without external help.
2. Get better by leveraging others: This is about deliberately leveraging all external resources available to you to get better.
3. Make others get better: This is about deliberately building an ecosystem around you that multiplies your effort.
4. Making and implementing a get-better plan: This is about deliberately making a plan and implementing it to get better in a few areas of focus.
At the Amazing book, easy to read and you have to improve your GBM model.

Language is fluid, several important aspects are covered which might be good insights to many for many other it is just the good refresher in order to reinforce things that they have learned in the past.
Kudos for giving structure and framework!
That being said I feel this book could have been completed in just 100 pages if author had not repeated same stuff over and over. As far as uniqueness of the ideas are concerned, truly speaking I don't find many. There are many places where multiple metaphor have been used to explain the simple concepts. While this book fails to deliver any extra ordinary insights but does exceptionally well in explaining how to engage tools which are already available around you.
Last but not the least it was good to hear these things from a learned man who has driven changes in multiple industry. I appreciate his commitment in bringing good stuff for people who are willing to improve themselves.

I liked Chandramouli Venkatesan’s first book ‘CATALYST’. The blurb of his next book ‘Get better at getting better’ interested me. It suggested -up suggested some similarity in thinking, I picked the second book. Getting better is evolutionary thought and the route to survival from Darwinian time.
Chandramouli Venkatesan, in his book ‘GET BETTER AT GETTING BETTER’ identifies He identifies four ‘core abilities’ that we need to focus professionally.
People skill / relationship / leadership / personal value system.
Analytical skill/comfort with numbers / logical reasoning.
Conceptualisation and intuitive skills / creativity / insightfulness.
Organised / disciplined / planned / efficient.
He says to get better in these ‘core capabilities’, one needs to develop the capability to succeed and continuously improving. He refers to it as ‘Get Better Model’ or GBM. This GBM seems to be the differentiator.

A Must Read. 5 stars.
Chandramouli's earlier book 'Catalyst' was instrumental in improving myself & I will forever go back to that book to reinforce the learnings. When spotted his second book, i immediately bought it without a second thought. 'Get Better at Getting Better' is another master piece. Chandramouli's GBM framework is a comprehensive model on getting better (sometimes we work on one aspect & miss out or don't think about the other). This book has so many insights:
1. Reflection to improve your core competencies (First principles)
2. The Pilot's view
3. Use of GBM while interviewing candidates
4. Use of GBM while giving feedback & appraisal
5. Ability to spot change & ability to execute are at different levels in career life cycle and how to manage it
6. Leveraging external ecosystem
I have a feeling Chandramouli's this book will also play a significant role in propelling me to the next level. A must read for middle level managers. 5 stars.

A well explained book which tries to give best answers to most of our questions on the growth. The fact that we are always focusing on hard work but not on getting us better is a key issue which is explained in the book. It explains us how we can improve ourselves and the key to success is Effort * get better what is called as GBM model.
It explained various ways to practice the GBM like, i) yourself ii) through training iii) getting better our ecosystem etc
The concept of pilot view is also a key thing which was well explained in the book. Toady most of us are not able to have this view during out work and it creates many intangible issues which becomes tough to resolve. Having pilot view helps us to not only get better but also prioritize our work

What a fab fab fabulous book this one is!!
I had been seeing this book being talked on social media for so long, especially with the kind of success his previous book had achieved (which I hope to read very soon as well), but for some reason, I was not so sure about wanting to read it.
Never realised that there are so many ways to get better at getting better, pun intended!
The beauty of the book is it's simplicity, in language, concept, explanation and overall packaging the book. Replete with examples from corporate life, sports and especially the analogies with cricket, make this an easy read. I finished it in a 1.5 hour flight ride (but the lessons will remain life-long) and gifted it to a young entrepreneur !

The book complements the earlier book 'Catalyst' and is another masterpiece on how to get better. The author recognizes the difference between sports and life, and explains how we can do everyday routines to get better. For example
• Success=Effort*Getting Better
• Lift operator and godown keeper example-you can get better at ANY job even a ‘boring one’ with the right motivation ‘Eg giving back/Making X Better’
• Start with the intent ‘I should get better everyday’
The book is worth a read and re-read

The book is based on the author's personal insights without any scientific backing which he has mentioned in the first couple of pages itself. Apart from a few segments (i.e self-evaluation, reflection and having a pilot's view), I didn't find the book worth consuming. Those who are in corporate might find this book worth consuming to build a team and develop a company. The comparisons of abilities with real-life scenarios can help one to understand the segments better.
If you have read this book or 'Catalyst' let me know how you feel about these two books.

Why some one can't translate the success in the previous job to the new job? Why we start stagnating after getting promoted to the next level? Why some people are really successful & some are not? These are all the questions that got answered for me through the book.It is more like a guide & brought to fore many issues that I could not really think about or speak about.Great work by the author & articulating it in a manner which is so easily to understand is the key.

After reading Catalyst by Chandramouli Venkatesan, Get Better at Getting Better has been on my reading list. This book has the same high standards as Catalyst. Book itself provides a Pilot View on how to identify what to get better at, how to execute and improve your get better plan. Loved some of the insights on the different phases of a career and how to tackle and get the best out of those stages.

One more book to be added in the "to-be-read-again"shelf.
This book is much better than the author's earlier book "Catalyst".
The book not only highlights the need of getting better but also paves the way to get better for getting better.
The anecdotes and the examples used to "get better" are both real and realistic. The ideas provided in the book are to be remembered at every stage of your personal and professional life.

Simple yet powerful concepts.
Definitely an easy read and not the dragging types, very relevant to the work place too.
My biggest learning from this was how we need to keep reflecting upon and improvising where and how we spend time. What could I have done to make the last hour better than what it was ?
