Dr. Mashall Goldsmith
Even
the world’s top leadership coach admits he needs a helping hand to
navigate through life and the decisions he has to make. And that’s
perfectly okay.
Dr.
Marshall Goldsmith, a best-selling author and the world’s #1
leadership thinker and executive coach from the USA, said that it’s
OK to ask for help from others. While most people veer away from
asking for help, Goldsmith actually urges everyone to get over the
idea of being able to do everything alone.
“I
do this exercise daily with a peer coach. I have someone call me to
listen to me ask myself questions I wrote and provide the answers I
wrote every day. Why I do this? I’m Marshall Goldsmith and I’m
too cowardly to do this by myself,” said Goldsmith in a podcast
with EntreLeadership.
Dubbed
as the Daily
Question Process,
it requires an individual to ask themselves a series of questions
every day. The 3-minute exercise can help people change their lives
for the better when done regularly. While the skepticism is expected,
Goldsmith said that most people usually quit the exercise after two
weeks – not because they failed, but because it has already
impacted them.
“I’m
too undisciplined. I need help, and that’s ok. I know how difficult
it is to go,” said Goldsmith. The leadership coach adds that once
there’s an admission for the need for help, life gets better.
The
Daily
Question Process requires
the individual to write several questions on a spreadsheet, with each
question representing a behavior that is important yet often easy to
neglect. The questions usually begin with “did I do my best to…”
and must be answerable with a yes or no.
The
process helps the individual to confront how they actually live out
their values every day. The mere process of writing the questions
allows for introspection on what really matters to them.
Hailed
by Harvard Business Review as the “World’s #1 Leadership
Thinker”, Dr. Goldsmith has had more than 40 years of successfully
coaching CEO’s from many of the world’s most renowned
organizations such as Ford, Pfizer, GSK, World Bank, Toyota, Goldman
Sachs & Co. He is also an author of numerous #1 bestsellers, with
the latest book “Triggers” as #1 New York Times and Wall Street
Journal bestseller.
Dr.
Marshall Goldsmith will headline a two-city CEO, HR and Senior
Leaders conference in Asia this October, with Manila as his last stop
on October 26, 2018. He will be joined by top coaching gun Dr. Peter
Chee, and master trainer and chief coach Serely Alcaraz. The
