DESCRIPTION:
These triggers are constant and relentless and omnipresent. They are usually the result of unappreciated triggers in our environment—the people and situations that lure us into behaving in a manner diametrically opposed to the colleague, partner, parent, or friend we imagine ourselves to be. In the course of Triggers, Goldsmith details the six “engaging questions” that can help us take responsibility for our efforts to improve and help us recognize when we fall short.Filled with revealing and illuminating stories from his work with some of the most successful chief executives and power brokers in the business world, Goldsmith offers a personal playbook on how to achieve change in our lives, make it stick, and become the person we want to be.. Even if that is true, as Goldsmith points out, we have a choice in how we respond.In Triggers, hi
His work has been recognised by almost every professional organisation in his field, including the American Management Association, Institute for Management Studies, the Wall Street Journal, Business Week and Economist.

As with all of his books, I know that Marshall’s focused, practical and insightful approach will help you in leadership, but even more important, it can help you in life!”--Jim Yong Kim – 12th President The World Bank “Marshall Goldsmith is a great author and world-renowned executive coach.

Choice is how we play the hand.-Regret should be used to grow, embrace the pain and the message.-We do not appreciate inertia's power over us.-Meaningful behavioral change is hard.-No one can make us change.-Some people they want to change, but they don't.-Achieving change is not necessarily easy but it may be easy.-There is a difference between understanding and doing.-We are superior planners and inferior doers.-Change doesn't happen overnight.-Success is the sum of small e. John Chancellor said Pure Gold. If you are good at setting goals but not that good at achieving them, then this is a must read. If you are a coach/mentor/leader that works with people to help them become a better version of themselves, then you will gain valuable insights from this book. You will learn valuable insights into what works and what doesn’t when it comes to changing human behavior.It is okay to be skeptical about such bold claims. But consider the accomplishments of the author, Marshall Goldsmith. He is one of the most respected coaches in the world. Mr. Goldsmith works with the elite leaders in industry and government. One simple fact abo. More of a promotional tool than a book A Reader This book has some good ideas and tools, but it lacks focus and feels forced. My impression is that Goldsmith wanted to put out another book but didn't have a way to fit his ideas together, so this reads like a series of independent--or perhaps loosely related--ideas with no central organizing structure. There is lots here that isn't exactly relevant to behavior change, he goes off on tangents to fill space, and the end sputters out like a runner trying desperately to reach the finish line (in this case, enough material for a book While I definitely took away some interesting and potentially helpful information, it read more
