Adding Too Much Value? When is too much, too much?

October 6, 2020

In his book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, Marshall Goldsmith gives us his Twenty Habits That Hold You from The Top.

In this Vlog Post and for the next several weeks I will explore each of the twenty habits from my own perspective and what I have learned from them. I start with the first, Winning Too Much: the need to win at all costs and in all situations – when it matters, when it doesn’t, and when it is totally beside the point.

In his book “What Got You Here, Won’t Get You There”, Marshall Goldsmith gives us the Twenty habits That Hold You Back from the Top. One of these is starting with “No”, “But or “However” and how the overuse of these negative qualifiers says to others; “I’m right, you are wrong”. One of the things I really appreciate about Marshall is his willingness to share freely his intellectual property, in fact actively encouraging people to use his “stuff”. This is one of the reason’s I decided to invest in myself and become a certified Coach with his stakeholder coaching process (https://www.marshallgoldsmith.com/stakeholder-centered-coaching/)

In this weeks video blog post I talk about a recent coaching conversation I had with a client where this came up.
