Who is Marshall Goldsmith?
Marshall Goldsmith earned his Ph.D. from the Anderson School of Management at UCLA and is renowned for his pragmatic, results-oriented approach to executive coaching. His mission, which he has articulated over the course of decades, is simple yet powerful: to help “successful people become even better.” He has worked with more than 200 CEOs from some of the world’s largest and most prestigious corporations, implementing leadership development processes that have impacted millions of people globally, underscoring his unparalleled influence in the business world.
He is known worldwide for his Stakeholder-Centered Coaching methodology, which focuses on behavioral change, and for being one of the founders of the widely used 360-degree feedback method. A distinctive feature of his coaching service is his “no cure, no pay” approach, where he only charges if the executive’s positive and measurable behavioral change is confirmed by their peers and colleagues. This model underscores his deep confidence in the effectiveness of his method for achieving tangible transformations.
Goldsmith is a bestselling author with more than 50 books published or co-published. His most acclaimed works include *What Got You Here Won’t Get You There* and *Triggers*. In the former, he identifies and offers strategies to overcome the 20 unconscious “transactional defects” that prevent even the most successful executives from reaching the top. Triggers, meanwhile, delves into how the environment and personal beliefs can trigger negative behaviors and how to achieve changes that endure over time and space.
Due to his influence, he has been recognized multiple times by Thinkers50 as the world’s number one leadership thinker. In addition to his consulting work, he teaches executive education courses and serves as a volunteer mentor to military leaders, international organizations, and the Red Cross, demonstrating his commitment to service beyond the corporate sphere. He recently launched the “100 Coaches” project, designed with the altruistic goal of passing on his knowledge and experience to the next generation of consultants and leaders.
