Marshall Goldsmith is an expert at helping global leaders overcome their sometimes unconscious annoying habits and attain a higher level of success. His one-on-one coaching comes with a six-figure price tag. But, in this book, you get Marshall's great advice without the hefty fee!

Marshall Goldsmith is one of the most credible thought leaders in the new era of business. -- The Economist

For over a decade I have worked with Marshall in corporations and seen him teach. In my opinion, he is the best at what he does, bar none. He has that rare combination that makes a great teacher-thought leadership, classroom management, and presence. -- Vijay Govindarajan, professor and director, Center for Global Leadership, Tuck School, Dartmouth University

America's preeminent executive coach. -- Fast Company

A leader's greatest challenge can be knowing when it's time to step aside. A great deal has been written for corporate boards on the issue of succession planning. But most executives have few resources to help guide them through the process. How do you start preparing yourself--and your successor--for your inevitable leadership transition?

In this concise book, leading executive coach and bestselling author Marshall Goldsmith offers candid advice on succession from the outgoing executive's perspective. From choosing and grooming a successor while sidestepping political minefields, to finally handing over responsibility, Goldsmith walks you through each step in the succession process.

Done right, your successor can enter to applause while you gracefully bow out and start the next chapter of your life.

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.

From Booklist By now, the CEO as celebrity is old hat. (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 (c) American Library Association.

Bestselling author and world-renowned executive coach Marshall Goldsmith examines the environmental and psychological triggers that can derail us at work and in life.

Do you ever find that you are not the patient, compassionate problem solver you believe yourself to be? Are you surprised at how irritated or flustered the normally unflappable you becomes in the presence of a specific colleague at work? Have you ever felt your temper accelerate from zero to sixty when another driver cuts you off in traffic?

Our reactions don't occur in a vacuum. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment--the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. So often the environment seems to be outside our control. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond.

In Triggers, his most powerful and insightful book yet, Goldsmith shows how we can overcome the trigger points in our lives, and enact meaningful and lasting change. Goldsmith offers a simple magic bullet solution in the form of daily self-monitoring, hinging around what he calls active questions. These are questions that measure our effort, not our results. There's a difference between achieving and trying; we can't always achieve a desired result, but anyone can try. In the course of Triggers, Goldsmith details the six engaging questions that can help us take responsibility for our efforts to improve and help us recognize when we fall short.

Filled with revealing and illuminating stories from his work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world, Goldsmith offers a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make it stick, and become the person we want to be.

Filled with powerful examples, full case studies, and previously unpublished articles from the greatest leadership thinkers of our time, this game-changing guide features insights on a wide range of timely and timeless leadership topics. You'll learn about talent development, gaining a competitive advantage through leadership, leading across cultures, sustainability, executive transition, and much more. The AMA Handbook of Leadership features new writing from names including Frances Hesselbein, R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr., Dave Ulrich, John (Jack) Zenger, Nancy J. Adler, John Baldoni, Judith M. Bardwick, Marshall Goldsmith, James F. Bolt, Marc Effron, Joe Folkman, Colin Gautrey, Paul Hersey, Maya Hu-Chan, Beverly Kaye, and Paula Kruger. In a challenging business climate, enterprises look to their leaders. Some situations call for drastic change, while others require the fortitude to stay the course. With these insightful tips from the leadership experts, any business leader will be equipped to overcome challenges and drive results.

Everything a leader does matters. Anyone who has ever experienced the impact of poor leadership understands the significance of effective leadership. When a leader is doing the right things, we may not recognize every action or characteristic as leadership in the moment, but we can feel it. So how do we model that behavior?

The authors of Lessons from Leaders distill decades of experience from fifteen remarkable leaders into a collection of entertaining stories that will inspire and guide readers to transform the way they lead. Not based on one voice or perspective, this book features a diverse spectrum of leaders from all walks of life. Some are more recognizable than others, but their lessons are uniquely relatable and compelling.

The candid and illuminating accounts of each leader's vastly different personal leadership journey-the people and experiences that shaped their beliefs, practices, and priorities-reveal the essential skills and characteristics that define extraordinary leadership.

Lessons from Leaders is not steeped in theory or complexity but is grounded in personal truths that paint a consistent picture of who a leader is and what a leader does. Each chapter includes an actionable Leadership Lesson that outlines steps the reader can take to reflect and apply meaningful insights.

Not a book that will be read once and put on the shelf, leaders at every level will want to highlight enduring takeaways, make notes in the margins, and use Lessons from Leaders as a compass to guide their journey to becoming an extraordinary leader.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Discover the steps to earning your path to fulfillment and living without regrets--from the world-renowned executive coach and New York Times bestselling author of Triggers and What Got You Here Won't Get You There

ONE OF SUMMER'S BEST BUSINESS BOOKS: Inc., Society for Human Resource Management - My life changed for the better when I started working with Marshall Goldsmith. The Earned Life is a wonderful book.--Dr. Jim Yong Kim, served as president of the World Bank

We are living an earned life when the choices, risks, and effort we make in each moment align with an overarching purpose in our lives, regardless of the eventual outcome.

That's the definition of an earned life. But for many of us, that pesky final phrase is a stumbling block: regardless of the eventual outcome. Not being attached to the outcome goes against everything we're taught about achievement and fulfillment in modern society.

But now, in his most personal and powerful work to date, world-renowned leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith offers a dazzling but simple approach that accommodates both our persistent need for achievement and the inescapable stuff happens unfairness of life.

Taking inspiration from Buddhism, Goldsmith reveals that the key to living the earned life, unbound by regret, requires committing to a habit of earning and, crucially, connecting that habit to something greater than the isolated achievements of careerism. By grounding our achievements in a higher aspiration, he shows, we can avoid the easy temptation to wallow in regret.

Goldsmith implores readers to avoid the Great Western Disease of I'll be happy when. . . . He offers practical advice and exercises aimed at helping us shed the obstacles, especially the failures of imagination, that prevent us from creating our own fulfilling lives. With this book as their guide, readers can close the gap between what they plan to achieve and what they actually get done--and avoid the trap of existential regret, the kind that reroutes destinies and persecutes our memories.

Packed with illuminating stories from Goldsmith's legendary career as a coach to some of the world's highest-achieving leaders as well as reflections on his own experiences, The Earned Life is a road map for ambitious people seeking a higher purpose.

Marshall Goldsmith is a wonderful coach, educator, and author.--Albert Bourla, CEO, Pfizer

Mojo is the moment when we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. This book is about that moment -- and how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it.

In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, #1 executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the ways in which to get -- and keep -- our Mojo. Our professional and personal Mojo is impacted by four key factors: identity (who do you think you are), achievement (what have you done lately?), reputation (who do other people think you are -- and what have you've done lately?), and acceptance (what can you change -- and when do you need to just let it go?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them coming.

Mojo is: that positive spirit -- towards what we are doing -- now -- that starts from the inside -- and radiates to the outside. Mojo is at its peak when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. The Mojo Toolkit provides fourteen practical tools to help you achieve both happiness and meaning -- not only in business, but in life.

Executives buy results, not coaching. The problem is that most leadership and executive coaches do not measure the impact of their coaching engagements. They can't prove that their coaching is actually making a difference. They rely too heavily on coach satisfaction surveys and other methods that simply measure reaction and not change.

This book lays out the framework to help you generate better results from your coaching practice using the Stakeholder Centered Coaching(R) approach, a proven coaching methodology and philosophy created by Marshall Goldsmith that demonstrates ROI and dramatically increases the likelihood of a successful coaching engagement. The best part about Stakeholder Centered Coaching is that it's a process you can use both personally and professionally for creating any kind of transformational change.

In this fun and engaging book, Marshall Goldsmith and Sal Silvester submit a mandate for measuring behavior change in leadership development and coaching programs and offer a practical process that enables coaches, trainers, and Organizational Development leaders to measure change in their programs. You'll learn the keys to starting your coaching engagements with a strong foundation, how to implement suggestions from the people most impacted by a coachee, and tips for sustaining behavior change.

Most executives do a terrible job of career planning. If this is you, welcome to the club. This book will enable you to solve that problem and help you gain a clear vision for your future, all the way through to the place where you are no longer working a full-time role. I call this Executive Portfolio Life(TM), or EPL for short.Executives are unique when it comes to career planning. I learned that in 1987 with my first client, John Paget. He was the CEO of Intelogic Trace, a 4,000-employee company providing electronic equipment installation and support services, with IBM as one of its biggest customers.At that time, I was CEO of MAI, a boutique organizational design and development consultancy that I would later sell to Organizational Design and Development. We were in the process of exploring this brand-new industry called executive coaching, but none of us had heard of executive career coaching before. We had been hired by Intelogic Trace only to do team building and change management.Intelogic Trace was struggling, and John needed to do a reduction in force (RIF). One day, as I met with John to discuss our engagement, he informed me that he was about to RIF almost half of his employees. That was a shock, but what happened next was amazing. As soon as the RIF was executed, John called me up and told me that he had put himself on the list. He was now unemployed.You RIFed yourself? Why? I thought, Don't you know that you need a job to get a job?I could not fire 2,000 employees and keep my job, was his answer.Wow. So, what are you going to do?John's answer changed my life. I know you are a writer. Can you help me write my r sum ?Sure, I said.And so, the journey began. I not only worked on his r sum , but helped him with every aspect of his career transition, culminating in him landing a CEO role for Access. Access was bought by Jack Welsh, then CEO of General Electric, who renamed it GE Access. Later, I helped John go to work for Jack. John kept me as his coach for the next twenty years, and the rest is history.The point-executives don't treat their careers the same way as non-executives. It was a very bold move to leave a job not having one. But had John stayed, he would have taken Intelogic Trace through bankruptcy and would have never met Jack, never worked for GE, and never become the president of Synnex. A bunch of dominos all fell in the right way to open up John's career. I had no clue what I was doing back then, and so take no credit for this brilliant set of career moves. What I do take credit for is following the advice of an early mentor, John Casey, who told me to stick with the winners. I did follow Casey's advice and stuck with John for the rest of his career.What I learned from sticking with winners like Paget is that a great executive career must be intentionally created. This is unique to the executive world. In lower-level positions, you can rely on others more. As an executive, you cannot allow others to manage your career. Companies always have a career plan for you: Invest yourself fully in helping the company grow. Do all it takes. Make it happen. Get results. That is a great plan for the company. But what about you, the executive? Does this get you where you want to go? Most times, that question is just not asked.Executives spend most of their time driving results. Either they are focused on hitting the numbers-OKRs, MBOs, KPIs and the alphabet soup of performance metrics-or they are scrambling to get the next job. Very rarely do they take time to reflect on and contemplate their careers, design where they are going, and develop a roadmap for getting there. If this describes you, then this book will be the perfect quick read. Written by a CEO, this direct, no-fluff style will give you what you need to better manager your career in a short, easy to consume executive briefing. Highly actionable, it will immediately help your career.

Do you feel like you're running as fast as possible to deliver impressive results but barely keeping up?Many leaders today are stuck trying to keep up a blistering pace that is unsustainable and likely to lead to burnout. If you are looking to build leadership that remains resilient in the face of adversity, helps you manage setbacks, and compels you to perform at your absolute best, professionally and personally, the endurance leader model can help you achieve it.

The endurance leader model is not about elite performance but about lasting performance. This four-part model is about cultivating ways of thinking, acting, and engaging that are satisfying and sustainable. It is not about winning races but the strategies to repeatedly get you across the finish line.

Mojo happens the moment we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and positive, and the rest of the world recognizes it. '#MOJOtweet' by New York Times best-selling author Marshall Goldsmith reveals how we can create Mojo in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it.

In this book, you will explore the vital ingredients for building Mojo--identity, achievement, reputation, and acceptance--and realize the five qualities necessary to do an activity well--motivation, knowledge, ability, confidence, and authenticity. In 140 bite-sized insights (ahas), Goldsmith teaches readers how to discover and nurture these elements within ourselves and how to use them as building blocks for creating our own personal Mojo, the result of which is happiness, reward, meaning, learning, and gratitude.

One of the key insights in the book says, The only person who can define meaning and happiness for you is YOU This book will make you think, this book will make you act, this book can help you cultivate better Mojo and become a better YOU. Goldmsith says that our general tendency is to continue to do what we are already doing, but the paradox is that this might not be sufficient for getting and keeping Mojo. So, do something different--something powerful, something purposeful, something positive--and get and keep '#MOJOtweet' today. Read more in his new book, 'MOJO: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It.'
