What Got You Here Won't Get You There (audio)

Best Practice Institute

You are invited to join Marshall Goldsmith for a LIVE 45 minute webinar on how to climb the last few rungs of the executive ladder. In this webinar, participants will learn:

1) Lessons on how to avoid "transactional flaws" which will lead to negative perceptions that will hold any executive back.

2) Tools and methods for understanding the subtle nuances that make the difference between good and great leadership.

The corporate world is filled with executives, men and women who have worked hard for years to reach the upper levels of 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 webinar, subtle nuances make all the difference.

These are small "transactional flaws" performed by one person against another (as simple as not saying thank you enough), which lead to negative perceptions that can hold any executive back. Using Goldsmith's straightforward, jargonfree advice, it's amazingly easy behavior to change.

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.
