1. Thinking Globally

Even when operating in a local or regional environment, global issues can impact your people and your bottom line. Leaders today must adapt to an increasingly competitive landscape with diverse stakeholders worldwide.

Great leaders master the economic, legal, and political aspects of operating in a global environment.

2. Appreciating Cultural Diversity

Today’s workforce is more diverse (and sensitive) than ever before. Actions that motivate in one culture might offend in another, and cultural acceptance is critical for advancement and retention.

Great Leaders openly embrace cultural differences and are students of human behavior to fill cultural gaps.

3. Demonstrating Technological Savvy

Technology is a critical component of every business. It impacts process, dollars and people. A leader without tech understanding will miss opportunities, frustrate their team and create unnecessary complexity.

Great Leaders aren’t necessarily tech experts, but they are tech savvy so they can build tech-savvy teams, manage resources, and inspire others to incorporate technology for company benefit.

4. Building alliances and partnerships

Business today is a team sport. Not just internally but externally as well. To be successful, companies need strategic alliances to compensate for weaknesses and leverage. Alliances with various stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, and even competitors are required to achieve exponential growth.

Great leaders master the skill of negotiating complex partnerships and managing alliance networks.

5. Sharing Leadership

In a changing world where leading within a flexible network may outweigh leading from a traditional hierarchy, sharing leadership isn't just an option, it's essential. Telling people what to do and how to do it is often cumbersome and ineffective.

Great leaders must ask, listen, and learn, especially when working with knowledge workers who often possess expertise beyond their managers.

All of these 5 key factors point to one thing – leaders of today must lead an ever-evolving life, in congruence with our ever-changing world.

Fast forward 14 years to 2023, and here we are in that future. These 5 key factors continue to differentiate a merely adequate leader from an exceptional leader, who can mobilize their teams and effectively navigate the growing complexity and pressures of dynamic market environments.

Moving forward, one needs to evaluate:

Are the current and emerging leaders in your company ready and capable of navigating this new world?
Do they have the competencies that are required today to lead us into a new era of work and growth?
Are people in your organization growing?

If you are hedging on “No” to these questions. And are ready to grow yourself and others within your organization, sign up for this upcoming Master Business Course with Marshall.

Each week, you will unlock a new level of leadership greatness, learn to master the art of leadership in a dynamic world, become the leader of leaders, and help your team rise to the challenge.

"Did you do your best to be happy today?" - Marshall asks this question as one of his 6 daily questions, reminding us of the active choice we have in shaping our perspectives and consequently, our behaviors. His brilliant insights on managing the triggers to our behaviors and ego is what makes him one of the most successful executive coaches of our time. His generosity and kindness are why he is admired and loved by so many.

“How do we create the change we need for our organizations and for ourselves? Marshall Goldsmith is the master of helping us all find that path, avoiding the negative triggers and building upon the triggers that bring out our best.”

“Marshall’s coaching invites leaders to focus relentlessly on their behavior. The leader’s behavior as well as the team’s behavior become the basis for great results and continuous improvement. This will be key to success for the connected, global, knowledge-driven companies of the future.”

“Marshall Goldsmith’s approach to help transform people to live better lives has influenced me and many others to achieve positive, lasting change and behavior at home and at work the world over. Although simple, his message resonates and can be summed up in one phrase “It’s showtime”. And since it’s showtime, time to put your best foot forward to live your best life as Marshall does and enable the same for others on a global scale.”

“Marshall Goldsmith is a sage for the modern world. He brings his honesty, compassion, and wisdom to every book, every speech, every meeting, and every interaction that I have had with him. Marshall knows what I am going to do before I know what I am going to do, which is a testament to how much effort he makes to understand the people around him.”

"Part of Marshall's brilliance is that he's taught me two seemingly incompatible lessons. First, be a great host – welcome in and celebrate the best of people. Second, get really clear who it is you best work with, and then do all you can to work with just that type of person. When you bring out the best in yourself, you bring out the best in others."

“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks…without Marshall Goldsmith’s help. With his coaching, you can change your old behavior to create new outcomes.”

Our unique approach leaves nothing to chance. We will help you break through your "plateaus" so you can grow and scale with less stress and less drama.
The 4-step integrated process that allows you to turn practice into results in real-time:

These 4 elements are essential to moving from incremental growth (or no growth at all) to scaling: a proven framework, insight from industry leaders, peer support, and professional mentoring. It’s time for you to turn practice into results in real-time with our integrated, 4-step process.

This course is highly recommended for all team leaders, especially those on the executive team and emerging leaders. It is also beneficial for hiring managers, aspiring leaders, and young talents.

This is a highly interactive course. It touches upon many aspects of interpersonal behaviors. We recommend taking this course with a peer or with a team. This collaborative approach enhances your learning through peer-reflection and direct feedback from trusted team members who are growing alongside you.

For the company, this fosters a more collaborative and cohesive team environment, reducing interpersonal dramas while scaling.

For the executive team, this hits on the #1 thing on the Scaling Up Checklist “The Executive Team is healthy and aligned as they understand each other’s differences, priorities, and styles.”

You will also be supported by a cohort of like-minded leaders within the Growth Institute community.

The ones who aren’t interested in changing. This successful adult’s behavior is working fine for them. They have absolutely no interest in changing and don’t perceive a problem. If they don’t care to grow and change their interpersonal behavior, taking this course will be a waste of everyone’s time.

The ones who are pursuing the wrong strategy for the organization.

If this person is already going in the wrong direction, all this course will do is help them get there faster, derailing the organization sooner.

The ones who are in the wrong job. Sometimes, people believe their skills are being misused or underused. For these people, simply ask "If we closed the company today, would you feel relieved, surprised, or sad?" If they say "relieved," it's a sign this course will not work for them. We can't change the behavior of unhappy people so they become happy. We can only help them fix behavior that makes people around them unhappy.

The ones who think everyone else is the problem. A long time ago, Marshall received a call from an executive, who after a few high-profile employee departures, was concerned about employee morale. After gathering and reporting the feedback from key employees to the client, Marshall was surprised to realize that the executive hadn't called Marshall to help him change; he wanted Marshall to fix his employees.

This course will not work for those executives who want to change others without improving themselves. As Marshall wisely put it: “It's hard to help people who don't think they have a problem. It's impossible to fix people who think someone else is the problem.”
