About the Book
What’s holding you back? Your hard work is paying off. You are doing well in your field. But there is something standing between you and the next level of achievement. Perhaps one small flaw — a behavior you barely even recognize — is the only thing that’s keeping you from where you want to be.
What is the solution? The Harvard Business Review asked Goldsmith, “What is the most common problem faced by the executives that you coach?” Inside, he answers this question by discussing not only the key beliefs of successful leaders, but also the behaviors that hold them back. He addresses the fundamental problems that often come with success — and offers ways to attack these problems. Goldsmith outlines twenty habits commonly found in the corporate environment and provides a systematic approach to helping you achieve a positive change in behavior.
What you'll learn:
-
How ideas are regarded as orders as you progress in the ranks of an organization
-
Why you resist change
-
Why successful people believe they are in control
-
The four drivers of self-interest
-
Goal Obssession
-
Why getting praise is dangerous

About the Book
In The Earned Life, Marshall Goldsmith challenges your unproductive attachment to outcomes and reveals the key to living unbound by regret: by helping you connect to something greater than the isolated and fleeting achievements of careerism.
“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.

About the Book
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. Change, no matter how urgent and clear the need, is hard. Knowing what to do does not ensure that we will actually do it. We are superior planners, says Goldsmith, but become inferior doers as our environment exerts its influence through the course of our day.
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.
What you'll learn:
-
How to change your habits
-
Belief triggers that prevent lasting change
-
How to identify your triggers
-
Passive Questions
-
AIWATT
-
The Circle of Engagement
-
Six active questions to change our behaviors
About the Book
Leadership expert Sally Helgesen and bestselling leadership coach Marshall Goldsmith have trained thousands of high achievers—men and women—to reach even greater heights. Again and again, they see that women face specific and different roadblocks from men as they advance in the workplace. In fact, the very habits that helped women early in their careers can hinder them as they move up. Simply put, what got you here won't get you there . . . and you might not even realize your blind spots until it's too late.
Sally and Marshall identify the 12 habits that hold women back as they seek to advance, showing them why what worked for them in the past might actually be sabotaging their future success. Building on Marshall's classic best seller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, their new book How Women Rise is essential reading for any woman who is ready to advance to the next level.

About the Book
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.
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 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.
What you'll learn:
-
The Four Elements of Mojo
-
How to Align Who You Are with What You Do
-
Why Achievement Matters (and How to Measure It Effectively)
-
Managing Your Reputation
-
The Power of Acceptance
-
Keeping Your Mojo Alive
-
How to Bounce Back When You Lose Your Mojo
