Bücher von Marshall Goldsmith

Perhaps one small flaw is the only thing that keeps you from where you want to be. This book states that people often do well in spite of certain habits rather than because of them - and need a 'to stop' list rather than what 'to do'. It intends to help global leaders overcome their unconscious annoying habits and become more successful.

Für viele Menschen ist materieller Luxus ein wichtiger Karriereantrieb. Ein größeres Haus, ein schnelleres Auto, Designer-Kleidung, teure Uhren ... Doch häufig wird dabei Wohlstand mit Glück verwechselt. Obwohl sie immer »mehr« erreichen, werden erfolgreiche Menschen nicht unbedingt glücklicher, sondern unglücklicher.In seinem bisher persönlichsten Werk bietet der weltbekannte Führungscoach Marshall Goldsmith einen verblüffenden, aber einfachen Ansatz, der sowohl unserem ständigen Bedürfnis nach Leistung als auch der unausweichlichen Ungerechtigkeit des Zufalls Rechnung trägt. Goldsmith lässt sich vom Buddhismus inspirieren und zeigt auf, dass der Schlüssel zu einem Leben ohne Bedauern und Enttäuschung darin besteht, sich nicht nur den Erfolg zur Gewohnheit zu machen, sondern diese Gewohnheit mit etwas Größerem als den isolierten Errungenschaften des Karrierismus zu verbinden.Goldsmith bietet praktische Ratschläge und Übungen an, die dem Leser dabei helfen sollen, die Hindernisse zu überwinden, die ihn daran hindern, sein eigenes erfülltes Leben zu gestalten, insbesondere das Versagen seiner Vorstellungskraft. Mit diesem Buch als Leitfaden können die Leser die Lücke zwischen dem, was sie sich vorgenommen haben, und dem, was sie tatsächlich erreicht haben, schließen.Vollgepackt mit erhellenden Geschichten aus Goldsmiths legendärer Karriere als Coach für einige der erfolgreichsten Führungskräfte der Welt sowie mit Reflexionen über seine eigenen Erfahrungen ist Das Leben, das Sie wirklich verdienen ein Fahrplan für ehrgeizige Menschen, die nach einem höheren Ziel suchen.

Leaders Creating Leaders This latest edition of the classic Managers as Mentors is a rapid - fire read that guides leaders in helping associates grow in today's tumultuous organizations. Thoroughly revised throughout with twelve new chapters, this edition places increased emphasis on the mentor acting as a learning catalyst with the prot g rather than simply handing down knowledge. As with previous editions, a fictional case study of a mentor - prot g relationship runs through the book. But now this is augmented with interviews with six top US CEOs. New chapters cover topics such as the role of mentoring in spurring innovation and mentoring a diverse and dispersed workforce accustomed to interacting digitally. Also new to this edition is the Mentor's Toolkit, six resources to help in developing the mentor - prot g relationship. This hands - on guide teaches leaders to be the kind of confident coaches integral to learning organizations. ''Continual learning is a key to effective leadership ...

The corporate world is filled with men and women who have worked hard to reach upper level management. They're intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle—and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small transactional flaws performed by one person against another that, using Goldsmith's straightforward, jargonfree advice, are easy behaviors to change. EDITORIAL REVIEWS:From Publishers Weekly Goldsmith, an executive coach to the corporate elite, pinpoints 20 bad habits that stifle already successful careers as well as personal goals like succeeding in marriage or as a parent. Most are common behavioral problems, such as speaking when angry, which even the author is prone to do when dealing with a teenage daughter's belly ring. Though Goldsmith deals with touchy-feely material more typical of a self-help book—such as learning to listen or letting go of the past—his approach to curing self-destructive behavior is much harder-edged. For instance, he does not suggest sensitivity training for those prone to voicing morale-deflating sarcasm. His advice is to stop doing it. To stimulate behavior change, he suggests imposing fines (e.g., $10 for each infraction), asserting that monetary penalties can yield results by lunchtime. While Goldsmith's advice applies to everyone, the highly successful audience he targets may be the least likely to seek out his book without a direct order from someone higher up. As he points out, they are apt to attribute their success to their bad behavior. Still, that may allow the less successful to gain ground by improving their people skills first.

(Just start counting the books from former company heads.) That goes for the executive-recruiter-cum-president-makers. What has yet to be explored—until now—is the celebrity business coach, the individual who helps C-level executives correct flaws, whether invisible or public. A frequent interviewee in major business magazines like Fortune, Goldsmith, with the sage help and advice of his collaborator Reiter, pens a self-help career book, filled with disguised anecdotes and candid dialogue, all soon slated for bestsellerdom. His steps in coaching for success are simple, honest, without artifice: gather feedback from appropriate colleagues and cohorts, determine which behaviors to change (and remember, Goldsmith specifically focuses on behavior, not skills or knowledge), apologize, advertise, listen, thank, follow up, and practice feed-forward. Admittedly, this shrewd organizational psychologist only works with leaders he knows will listen, follow advice, and change—especially considering that he doesn't receive fees until improvements are secure and visible. On the other hand, these are words and processes anyone will benefit from, whether wannabe manager or senior executive. Barbara Jacobs Copyright © American Library Association.
