Marshall Goldsmith reflects on a nearly 40-year career as one of the world’s leading executive coaches, and distills down some of the most essential ideas about how to spot an exceptional leader, and become one yourself in your life and career. Goldsmith discusses how to gain confidence, motivating others, where leaders go wrong, why it’s easier to change behavior than perception, how to specifically change other people’s perceptions, the three words that kill any conversation, decision making, the relationship between intensity and consistency, and so much more. With nearly four decades of hands-on experience, Goldsmith is the leading expert on leadership and coaching for behavioral change and has been recognized as one of the Top Ten Business Thinkers in the World and the top-rated executive coach at Thinkers50. He is also the author of four books on the subject of leadership, including What Got You Here Won’t Get You There and his most recent book, The Earned Life. -- -- OUR FREE NEWSLETTER: https://fs.blog/newsletter/ 📈  OUR MOST POPULAR INTERVIEWS 🎬  The Full Story of Naval Ravikant: https://youtu.be/mGY2To_HW98 🎬  Bill Ackman - Getting Back Up: https://youtu.be/mIS3LYxgVWc 🎬  Secrets to Healthy Relationships with Esther Perel: https://youtu.be/atXKntdX2UY 🎙 Listen to the show  iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-knowledge-project-with-shane-parrish/id990149481 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1VyK52NSZHaDKeMJzT4TSM?si=abde3cc6a48d43ef GET IN TOUCH 🌍 Our website - www.fs.blog JOIN OUR COMMUNITY https://fs.blog/membership/ ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE PROJECT Like the mentor you’ve always dreamed of having, The Knowledge Project shares timely yet timeless lessons for work and life.
