Marshall Goldsmith | Talk @ google

I just discovered Marshall Goldsmith and he is awesome, looking forward to read his book What got you here, won’t get you there. Here are my takeaways:

• We spend a lot of time helping leaders learn what to do, we don’t spend enough time helping leaders learn what to stop -Peter Drucker
• WINNING TO MUCH, we are so competitive that we argue who is more miserable
• “help more, judge less”
• Use little amounts of money to produce change in behavior
• We only can change what we want to change. If you want to change other people that don’t want to change, let it go.
• Only do what works for you
• You don’t have to know the past of someone to help him
• Developing yourself as a leader and partner: ask, listen think, thank, respond, involve, change, follow-up
• What i can’t do to be better? (parent , partner, team member, son)
• I can’t be better in everything I CAN be better in one thing
• Follow-Up its important.
• Be happy NOW, you are gone to day anyway.
• If you have a dream go for it
• Have fun, life its short.
