Back to TopMarshall Goldsmith
Dr. Marshall Goldsmith is a world authority in helping successful leaders get even better–by achieving positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams.
The American Management Association named Goldsmith as one of 50 great thinkers and leaders who have influenced the field of management over the past 80 years. Major business press acknowledgments include: Business Week—most influential practitioners in the history of leadership development; The Times (UK)—50 greatest living business thinkers; Wall Street Journal—top 10 executive educators; Forbes—five most-respected executive coaches; Leadership Excellence—top five thinkers on leadership; Economic Times (India)—five rajgurus of America; Economist (UK)—most credible executive advisors in the new era of business; and Fast Company—America’s preeminent executive coach.
Goldsmith’s Ph.D. is from UCLA. He teaches executive education at Dartmouth’s Tuck School and frequently speaks at leading business schools. He is a Fellow in the National Academy of Human Resources (America’s top HR honor), and his work has been recognized by almost every professional organization in his field. In 2006 Alliant International University honored Goldsmith by naming their schools of business and organizational studies the Marshall Goldsmith School of Management.
Goldsmith is one of a select few advisors who have been asked to work with over 100 major CEOs and their management teams. He is co-founder of Marshall Goldsmith Partners, a network of top-level executive coaches. He served as a member of the Board of the Peter Drucker Foundation for 10 years. He has been a volunteer teacher for U.S. Army Generals, Navy Admirals, Girl Scout executives, International and American Red Cross leaders—where he was a National Volunteer of the Year.
Marshall’s 24 books include: The Leader of the Future (a Business Week best-seller), Coaching for Leadership and Succession: Are You Ready? (in the Harvard Business Memo to the CEO series).
Over 200 of his articles, interviews, columns and videos are available for viewing and sharing online (for no charge) at www.MarshallGoldsmithLibrary.com. Visitors to this site have come from 188 countries and have viewed over 2.1 million resources.
