The corporate world is filled with men and women who have worked hard to reach upper level management. They're intelligent, skilled, and even charismatic. But only a handful of them will ever reach the pinnacle--and as executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shows in this graphic format adaptation of his 2007 book, subtle nuances make all the difference. These are small transactional flaws performed by one person against another that, using Goldsmith's straightforward, jargonfree advice, are easy behaviors to change
Mojo is the moment when we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. This book is about that moment--and how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and recapture it when we need it. In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won't Get You There, #1 executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the ways in which to get--and keep--our Mojo. Our professional and personal Mojo is impacted by four key factors: identity (who do you think you are), achievement (what have you done lately?), reputation (who do other people think you are--and what have you've done lately?), and acceptance (what can you change--and when do you need to just "let it go"?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them coming. Mojo is: that positive spirit--towards what we are doing--now--that starts from the inside--and radiates to the outside. Mojo is at its peak when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. The Mojo Toolkit provides fourteen practical tools to help you achieve both happiness and meaning--not only in business, but in life.

Marshall Goldsmith, renommierter Karriere-Coach, identifiziert persönliche Gewohnheiten, die den Erfolg behindern. In seinem Buch bietet er Tipps zur Selbstreflexion und Verbesserung des Kommunikationsstils, um Lesern zu helfen, ihre Karriereziele zu erreichen und mehr Zufriedenheit zu finden.
Für viele ist materieller Luxus ein wichtiger Karriereantrieb. Ein größeres Haus, ein schnelleres Auto, Designer-Kleidung und teure Uhren werden oft mit Glück verwechselt. Doch trotz des ständigen Strebens nach „mehr“ werden erfolgreiche Menschen nicht unbedingt glücklicher, sondern oft unglücklicher. In seinem persönlichsten Werk präsentiert Marshall Goldsmith einen verblüffenden, aber einfachen Ansatz, der sowohl das Bedürfnis nach Leistung als auch die Ungerechtigkeit des Zufalls berücksichtigt. Inspiriert vom Buddhismus zeigt Goldsmith, dass der Schlüssel zu einem Leben ohne Bedauern darin besteht, Erfolg nicht nur zur Gewohnheit zu machen, sondern diese mit etwas Größerem als den isolierten Errungenschaften des Karrierismus zu verbinden. Er bietet praktische Ratschläge und Übungen, die helfen, Hindernisse zu überwinden, die einem erfüllten Leben im Wege stehen, insbesondere die Grenzen der eigenen Vorstellungskraft. Mit diesem Buch als Leitfaden können Leser die Lücke zwischen ihren Zielen und dem, was sie tatsächlich erreicht haben, schließen. Vollgepackt mit Geschichten aus Goldsmiths Karriere als Coach erfolgreicher Führungskräfte sowie seinen eigenen Erfahrungen ist es ein Fahrplan für ehrgeizige Menschen auf der Suche nach einem höheren Ziel.
Jak úspěšní lidé dosahují ještě větších úspěchů.
