Marshall Goldsmith reflects on a nearly 40-year career as one of the world’s leading executive coaches, and distills down some of the most essential ideas about how to spot an exceptional leader, and become one yourself in your life and career. Goldsmith discusses how to gain confidence, motivating others, where leaders go wrong, why it’s easier to change behavior than perception, how to specifically change other people’s perceptions, the three words that kill any conversation, decision making, the relationship between intensity and consistency, and so much more.
With nearly four decades of hands-on experience, Goldsmith is the leading expert on leadership and coaching for behavioral change and has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Business Thinkers in the World and the top-rated executive coach at Thinkers50. He is also the author of four books on the subject of leadership, including What Got You Here Won’t Get You There and his most recent book, The Earned Life.

Report card questions: 1. Did I do my best every day to set clear goals? 2. Did I do my best to make progress towards achieving my goals? 3. Did I do my best to find meaning every day rather than wait for the world to give me meaning? / Did I do my best to make my life meaningful every day? 4. Did I do my best to be happy? 5. Did I do my best to build positive relationships? 6. Did I do my best to be fully engaged and present every day? / What percent of the day was I present, engaged every day?

Now this is perfect value investing. I get Amazing value for almost no price. All I need to do is, focus, sit down on my couch and listen curiously like a 4 yr old moving around in a no limits, all paid for, candy shop. This is marvelous Shane. Thank you so much. Moved this to a recurring calendar event to ensure I watch this every once in a while.

The intro was great. Being smart and being right all the time is probably not the way to make a difference; so good. Working through others is not something everyone will be willing to do.

I can adapt to anything until I'm disrespected therefore talking or being realistic and understanding is completely out the door.

You don't need their respect. They may not have the capacity. Rock on like a star.

@@wingit7335 Thanks wing it. Let's go another level in. There are many reasons why people might not have the capacity for respect or appreciation. Life can be very hard on people even from a very young age. I don't think of it as necessarily a choice.

@armandosanchez4281 Жыл бұрын

GREAT episode, Marshall&Shane. However, the relativism in Marshall’s definition of success in life and its implicit alignment could be shortsighted. That “successful” alignment could be applicable to genocides, drug dealers and other transgressors…not very successful lives in my view…
