Description
Recognize the emotional triggers that set off a reaction or a behavior in us, often working to our detriment. These triggers can be specific settings, such as meetings or competitive situations, or even particular people or situations that rub us the wrong way. Understanding how our environment affects our behavior is key to controlling our responses and managing others. Executive coach and psychologist Marshall Goldsmith explores the power of active questions to help us take responsibility for our actions and our failure to act. He discusses the importance of structure in effecting permanent change, as change can be hard and without a structure, we inevitably relapse and fall back. This book is filled with stories from Marshall's work with executives and leaders, showing readers how to achieve meaningful and sustained change. By recognizing and understanding our emotional triggers, and using active questions and structure to effect change, we can open our imaginations and escape the rigidity of binary thinking.
