In their effort to succeed, today's leaders will reinvent anything--anything but themselves, and this is why so many attempts to revolutionize business fail. Tracy Goss runs a course for executives so that they can reinvent themselves for the next "mission impossible," and Goss has run this highly successful course for the last fifteen years.
Do you want to do work that is worthy of your time and talent? Do you want to make your mark on your industry, company, or within your community? Are you satisfied with the fact that reengineering, quality improvements, and other changes never really make a lasting impact? Then you need to go beyond the techniques of improvement and learn the skills that it takes to be extraordinary. The power to be extraordinary is not one we are born with. Rather, it is a power that one can learn, and Tracy Goss helps executives realize this power. Here in this book for the first time, Goss makes her coursework available to the general reader.
Goss's unique methodology shows how you how "you can put at risk the success you have achieved for the 'possibility' you can be." She positions executives to take on the future that they dream about. She teaches how to behave differently so that you are free of past constraints. She shows how you can be at home in the environment in which you are constantly surrounded by threats, and how to transcend the ordinary to make the impossible happen. Her work has resulted in many important life changes and organizational reinventions worldwide.

The Last Word On Power edition by Tracy Goss SelfHelp eBooks
This book contains a handful of very useful nuggets (see below) wrapped entirely in a nonsensical and obtuse presentation which uses worthlessly broad examples and made up terminology to obfuscate its core value. It may have been effective if the author had cut 90% of this unnecessary repetition and presented the concepts using plain English, but that might have revealed that many of them fail to stand up to even a modicum of normal scrutiny. I imagine that it's easier to get people to buy into something if it doesn't make sense.Let's try to pull out some of the value from the rest of the steaming pile because there ARE very powerful ideas lurking amidst the rest.
The core concept is that you can make the impossible happen by completely reframing your perspective on life and how that informs your journey through it.
We have been successful in life so far by deploying a "Winning Strategy" which uses our best attributes to carve through the path of least resistance to 'success' but has also firmly wedged us in a narrow canyon of defining what is "possible" and "impossible" as a result. Clinging to that same strategy, once you've hit a point of impossibility, is more harmful than good and will prevent you from achieving the impossibility.
Your Winning Strategy typically involves implicitly asking a question of the world and then performing an action based on the answer you've heard. Your first step to addressing it is to identify the question you're implicitly asking and the action you take as a result.
We frame everything in life as a reaction to what "should" and "should not" be, which naturally puts us in the frame of subjective reasoning and excuses. Instead, we should just casually examine the facts in a sort of Zen way -- they are just stones in the river that happened and we will keep flowing as needed.
One of the best references was to the Samurai 'dying before going into battle', an exercise in which they fully and completely accept all of the emotional pain associated with their death prior to engaging in battle so they have fully accepted the worst possible case into their hearts. That allows them to have exceptional power to take risks. The corollary to your own life should be obvious.
Clinging to hope for the future is the worst thing you can do… you must own the worst possible case fully and then you are freed to act without consequence. Not only that, you must literally own that you will die and they will throw dirt on your face regardless of how your life goes. You must accept a certain meaninglessness in life to be truly free to live it however you wish.
As part of your path toward fulfilling the impossible, you must declare that it is possible, that you ARE exactly whatever it is that you must be in order to manifest it, and that nothing that occurs along the way will stop the inevitability of this occurring.
Further, you need to create your own version of the Jobsian "Reality Distortion Field" whereby you ARE the symbol of your new movement and the key player in the game of reality which you have redefined to be whatever it takes to realize your impossibility. This also allows you to build a strong enough frame to draw others into the game with you because the rules are clear (and you are clearly committed to making it happen). It also allows you to view your whole life through this frame, processing information, relationships and action through a lens you never otherwise could have. Finally, this game takes place in the frame that your impossible future is the starting point and you simply need to work backwards from it rather than moving incrementally forward from the present as we typically do. All of these things make you act bigger and more creatively.
The only game worth playing is one where you are 100% committed and where you have 100% accepted that it will certainly not work out like it should but that's okay because it's worth playing anyway. This bears repeating -- it's only worth pursuing this audacious impossibility if the 'failure' case you have accepted is still a success to you. That's the best way to guarantee commitment.
As a process, you need to get comfortable making tons of requests of other people and leaning into the results (whether positive or negative). This is just Hustle 101, but if your frame is sufficiently strong then this is really the only option anyway, so it all comes back to fully embracing who you need to BE and what your reality needs to look like to make this happen.
Finally, spend lots of time practicing these concepts on a small level to build awareness of them. For instance, look for multiple times a day when you deploy your "winning strategy" and think about what impossibility you are trying to avoid. Think about how your past is really just a narrative and you are always thinking in terms of how things "should" and "shouldn't" be instead of properly stepping above.

Hopefully that's a roughly useful accounting of some core concepts. Many of them seem powerful to put in practice, if not quite in the exact framework presented. Again, I can't get over the poor style of this book, which presented a significant barrier towards the concepts within (and much frustrated gesticulation along the way). The examples are very broad and not well supported but seem designed, like a good horoscope, to give everyone something to see themselves in. Many of the theories don't hold up to any kind of reasonable analysis or are essentially platitudes wrapped up in false dichotomies and straw man arguments. The terminology used to describe the concepts is incredibly obtuse and seems designed to confuse rather than educate. Lots of time is spent unpacking totally inane concepts (like enumerating the dozens of ways you can make a request of someone) that really takes away from the core messages.
But… well, hopefully you can find a better summary than this to unpack the ideas without having to suffer through the path to them so you can achieve your impossible dream.

The Last Word On Power edition by Tracy Goss SelfHelp eBooks Reviews
One of those rare books that inspires and transforms the way you think.
It's a pretty decent book for those already in a leadership position. It really does feel like a really long motivational poster.
This book is great if you are keen to better understand the value of coming from a place of 'nothingness' to create a better you, work environment, leader ... or anything. I can see the value in these concepts for corporations and that is just who it is written for. However, be prepared to not be looking for an instant quick fix. These concepts are anything but that. Great book. You can tell the authors didn't just throw it together. Well planned out and very well written. I absolutely recommend it for anyone who is looking to really 'up their game'.
Very useful book. It really opens up a new way of reinvention for the self that opens the possibility of the impossible!!!! I highly recommend it for anyone specially if you want a breakthrough experience.
I have used this book for many years in my consulting business. Have designed workshops and exec coaching methods from its content. Aware of the work of Werner Erhard? Tracy Goss obtained permission to use a lot of Werner's material in putting this together. If you work in the domain of culture change and leadership, get this and absorb its content, then put it into practice.
That I can develop my own alternative way of being in the world is not only revolutionary when you think about what that might actually mean, it is even more powerful when you take it out of the context of being where you are right now! Tracy Goss in my opinion has written a book that actually makes huge, important and significant changes possible by identifying how we're limited by the context within which we live, within which all humans live - referred to as the universal human paradigm, so present most of us not even cognizant of how deep it is within our bones/being. Not only does she high light that a paradigm shift is possible she articulates very clearly how to create that and how it looks in the world, in companies where that commitment to transformation lives. This is a powerful book. This is a book that not only will I recommend but that I will gift to those in my network who are taking on big challenges, inspired by what rocks their world!
Amazing book! Another book that spoke to me. When we read these books we really see how the Universal Human Paradigm shapes us as human beings all throughout life until we recognize it and can break the cycle. Amazing! A must for Life Coaches or anyone looking for self growth!
