The Harvard Business Review

An in-depth interview that discusses Marshall's approach to helping executives change their behavior. An abstract from Marshall Goldsmith's interview with the Harvard Business Review: "Executive consultant Marshall Goldsmith tells his CEO clients that he's not the real coach; the people around them are. To change your behavior, he says, quit whining about the past and start asking your colleagues how you can do better. You're not done until they think you are." Available from The Harvard Business Review. A nearly identical version of this same interview is available as ... "Why Good CEOs Don't Always Win" (see below).

 
How to Become a Thought Leader

RainToday.com

You can't go after a market without something authentic and valuable to offer, without something spun from the passion you hold for your area of expertise ... and you can't continue to teach others and sustain your business as a whole without developing an ongoing relationship with your market. One without the other just doesn't work.

Quelling Your Inner Jerk

Forbes

Goldsmith preaches four golden rules: Care about what your colleagues say and feel about you; don't try to prove you are always right; ask, listen and follow up; and solicit appraisals from your associates. Goldsmith polls an executive's associates every three months to measure whether his behavior has changed, passing on the results to the executive. "Without the feedback, there's no incentive to change," he says.

Alan Mulally, who runs Boeing's airplane division, changed after learning he was so hard-driving that he had no room in his head for other people's ideas. He met one-on-one with colleagues to thank them for their input, express gratitude for their involvement and ask them for ideas in the assembly of the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner jet.

MOJO 101: Increase Happiness and Meaning at Work and at Home

Leading News

During this 60-minute conference call we discussed the points below plus fielded your specific questions.

Practical strategies to increase happiness and meaning at work:

- Clarify your goals or ministrywhat is your purpose in the world?
- Eliminate all conversations that involve how smart/stupid you/others are
- Remember: happiness is only moderately coordinated with money
- Balance what you give to your work with what your work brings to you

Practical strategies to increase happiness and meaning at home:

- Measure your MOJO for a week (download scorecard here)
- How much do you bring work dissatisfactions home?
- You have only two choices: change YOU or change IT; much of what increases our MOJO comes from changing our own attitudes and identity
- How much are you a slave to inertia? Make mindful choices about how to spend your time.

How to boost employee engagement without another expensive corporate program:

- Each person is different: what creates MOJO for one may disengage another
- Challenge your employees: what can you do yourself to increase your MOJO?
- Ask yourself: how can I make the best use of the time I have to spend?
- How often do you pause before speaking to make sure what you are about to say is in the best interest of you and others?

Marshall Goldsmith Delivers Timeless Advice

Marshall Goldsmith dispenses age-old wisdom when he advises listeners to slow downtake a breath.

Marshall Goldsmith, author of MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back If You Lose It, provided some timeless insight during our interview today on Brainstormin with Billy the Brain. His advice? Take a Breath. Think of yourself as a 95-year old looking back on your life. What would you be thinking.

Statistically, Marshall has found people reflect on three things: 1) Be Happy, 2) Build Relationships with People and 3) Go For Your Dream.

Marshall defines MOJO as the positive spirit of what youre doing. He described those things that block MOJO as NOJONo Joy.

Marshall made many other interesting observations. For instance, based on what he has learned from 360 Feedback, women make better leaders than men. Perhaps its because women arent trying to win too much as men so often do.

More From Marshall Goldsmith

ExecuNet

It's not every day I get a chance to speak with management author Marshall Goldsmith, nor is it often that I can get the unvarnished views of executive talent management from such a learned business builder.

Seizing the opportunity, and asking Goldsmith to draw some executive interviewing best practices from the lessons uncovered in his new book, MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back If You Lose It, I wasn't disappointed.

Goldsmith suggested that corporate talent officers and executive recruiters try to get to the bottom of the executive psyche and motivators for a career change by asking, 'What was most meaningful about your past work? What made you most happy in your career? And what kind of work and responsibility would be most meaningful in your next role?'

The author says experienced interviewers can typically pick up on the enthusiasm that lights up candidates' eyes when they talk about the life- and career-changing experiences they've had during their careers. In this particular instance, body language and vocal tone reveal a tremendous amount that may effectively predict whether a candidate will feel fulfilled, excel and stay in a new leadership position long enough to have the desired business impact.

Conversely, Goldsmith generalizes, anyone who lays a bum rap at the feet of former employers and managers is harming himself or herself with what he termed a "death knell in the interview." If people can't get over past career disappointments and spend precious interview time looking to the future, they may have difficulty accepting what is and may, in the future, criticize your organization if they don't get the right career satisfaction.
