"Beyond the walls is a battle cry that mobilizes . . . The walls that surround us, protect us, and embrace us can also inhibit movement, limit understanding, restrict engagement, and diminish our relevance in the wider world. I realized that my walls, and the walls of leaders everywhere, were not only the walls of current policy, practice, procedure, and assumption but also the walls of the past--safe, familiar, and secure. This recognition was just the first of several as we worked through a process to take ourselves and our organizations beyond the walls to new levels of performance and positive changes in the lives of people." --from the Introduction by Frances Hesselbein In Leading Beyond the Walls, twenty-nine great thinkers examine leaders adept at establishing partnerships, alliances, and networks both within and outside their organizations. They address the challenge of leading in an age when the old rules and conventional boundaries no longer exist. Peter F. Drucker, Stephen R. Covey, Peter M. Senge, Jim Collins, Noel Tichy, Regina E. Herzlinger, C.K.

Egal auf welcher Stufe der Karriereleiter er gerade steht, im Leben jedes Menschen gibt es persönliche Eigenheiten, bestimmte Gewohnheiten oder Verhaltensweisen, die verhindern, dass er genau dort hinkommt, wo er eigentlich sein möchte. Es ist oftmals nur das "kleine Etwas", das zwischen uns und der nächsten Stufe des Erfolgs steht. Oftmals ist es aber genau die Eigenschaft die uns daran hindert weiterzukommen, weil wir von ihr glauben, dass sie uns dorthin gebracht hat, wo wir jetzt sind. Doch Menschen sind oft trotz bestimmter Gewohnheiten erfolgreich und nicht wegen ihnen. Marshall Goldsmith, einer der bekanntesten und ausgezeichnetsten Karriere-Coaches in den USA, ist Experte darin, diese lästigen kleinen Gewohnheiten aufzuspüren und zu überwinden um den Weg für mehr Erfolg und Zufriedenheit freizumachen. Goldsmith hat in Einzel-Coachings schon zahlreichen internationalen Führungskräften dazu verholfen genau die Position erfolgreich auszufüllen, von der sie immer geträumt haben. In diesem Buch fasst er seine wichtigsten Tipps und Grundsätze verständlich zusammen und zeigt jedem Leser wie er durch Selbstreflexion und Kommunikationsstils das Beste aus sich herausholen kann.

Für viele Menschen ist materieller Luxus ein wichtiger Karriereantrieb. Ein größeres Haus, ein schnelleres Auto, Designer-Kleidung, teure Uhren ... Doch häufig wird dabei Wohlstand mit Glück verwechselt. Obwohl Sie immer "mehr" erreichen, werden erfolgreiche Menschen nicht unbedingt glücklicher, sondern unglücklicher. In seinem bisher persönlichsten Werk bietet der weltbekannte Führungscoach Marshall Goldsmith einen verblüffenden, aber einfachen Ansatz, der sowohl unserem ständigen Bedürfnis nach Leistung als auch der unausweichlichen Ungerechtigkeit des Zufalls, Rechnung trägt. Goldsmith lässt sich vom Buddhismus inspirieren und zeigt auf, dass der Schlüssel zu einem Leben ohne Bedauern und Enttäuschung darin besteht, sich nicht nur den Erfolg zur Gewohnheit zu machen, sondern diese Gewohnheit mit etwas Größerem als den isolierten Errungenschaften des Karrierismus zu verbinden. Goldsmith bietet praktische Ratschläge und Übungen an, die dem Leser dabei helfen sollen, die Hindernisse zu überwinden, die ihn daran hindern, sein eigenes erfülltes Leben zu gestalten, insbesondere das Versagen seiner Vorstellungskraft. Mit diesem Buch als Leitfaden können die Leser die Lücke zwischen dem, was sie sich vorgenommen haben, und dem, was sie tatsächlich erreicht haben, schließen. Vollgepackt mit erhellenden Geschichten aus Goldsmiths legendärer Karriere als Coach für einige der erfolgreichsten Führungskräfte der Welt sowie mit Reflexionen über seine eigenen Erfahrungen ist "Das Leben, das du wirklich verdienst" ein Fahrplan für ehrgeizige Menschen, die nach einem höheren Ziel suchen.

"Marshall and Asheesh are the right people at the right time to tackle the important work of modernizing the definition of achievement. This book is a must-read and destined to be a modern classic." --Dr. Jim Yong Kim, twelfth president, World Bank Today''s aspiring leaders are redefining achievement. They understand achievement as a process for individual empowerment--discovering who they are, where they want to go, and how they want to change themselves and the world around them. That world is more global, decentralized, dynamic, and diverse than ever before. Rather than just setting goals for achievement, today''s graduates are focusing on the process of achieving goals, resetting and pivoting to face new realities, and finding happiness in the journey. Classic books on achievement like those by Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy, and Stephen Covey were written for a much different world. Today''s young leaders need a fresh approach for achieving success in their lives and careers. Enter Asheesh Advani and Marshall Goldsmith. In Modern Achievement, JA (Junior Achievement) Worldwide CEO Asheesh Advani and celebrated leadership expert Marshall Goldsmith (What Got You Here Won''t Get You There) offer thirty actionable lessons for personal and career success. Each lesson is part of an innovative Fixed-Flexible-Freestyle leadership framework that helped Advani to lead JA Worldwide and propel the organization to annual recognition as one of the top 10 NGOs in the world. Using vivid storytelling from the lives of Advani and Goldsmith as well as established leaders and young achievers they have met, Modern Achievement empowers emerging leaders to claim their individual power to grow, achieve, and lead others.

"El cambio es muy difícil y mientras más mayor sea una persona, más difícil de conseguir, por eso muchas veces aunque sabemos qué es lo que nos conviene, no logramos modificar nuestra situación. En este nuevo libro, Goldsmith toca el tema de los disparadores, es decir esas cosas que hacen que reacciones de determinada forma ante ciertos estímulos o situaciones a los que nos enfrentamos."--

The follow-up to Marshall Goldsmith''s 500,000-copy bestseller The Leader of the Future, Global Leadership: The Next Generation systematically identifies what tomorrow''s leaders will need to know, do and believe in order to successfully lead the global enterprise of the future. Drawing on the results of an extraordinary 2-year Accenture study of emerging business leaders, this book shows why the skills of today''s global leaders won''t be enough--and why tomorrow''s leaders won''t resemble today''s. Goldsmith and his co-authors first identify five new "factors of leadership" and their implications: global thinking, appreciation of diversity, technological savvy, a willingness to partner and an openness to sharing leadership. They explain what it will mean to lead in an era where intellectual capital is the dominant source of value; how to lead people whose backgrounds and values may be radically dissimilar from yours; and why achieving personal self-mastery is now a fundamental prerequisite for leading others. From the evolution of "federated," semi-autonomous organizational structures to the personal leadership challenges now arising from globalism, this book offers unprecedented insights into the new challenges of leadership--and what it will take to meet them.
