Learn from Peter Drucker: Our mission in life is to make a positive difference, not to prove we are smart or right. Every decision is made by the person with the power. If you need to influence them, they're a customer, and you're a salesperson. Sell what you can sell, change what you can change, and let go of what you can't.
My guest today is Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s leading executive coaches.
We discuss the surprising lessons he’s learned coaching some of the best CEOs in the world, where confidence comes from, common mistakes leaders make, why changing behavior is easier than changing perception, how to change others’ perceptions when you change your behavior, the three words that kill any conversation, the relationship between intensity and consistency, and so much more.
