From Leading Newsletter

I browsed Marshall Goldsmith site : with the title " Library ", it contained almost all of his writing archive as free resource for everyone.. an executive coach and member to Peter Drucker Foundation, Marshall don't mind anyone steal his work, as long as he can control his heart and soul; as a matter of fact, this must be a great way to market his coaching business, as I want to be a coach myself, to worship Marshall and to learn how he got what he get today is essential. there are tone of knowledge to be qualified as executive, I am not sure whether there is a ' Market " in Greater China and who will be seem as the leading coach in this part of the world.

Goodstone is the corporation Marshall co-found as the coaching service consultancy, I will try to apply and see how I can learn from Marshall and developing what I love to do - not MVP any more, but to be the best coach. here after are information I extracted from the leading newsletter:

Marshall Goldsmith said that the success of projects depends as much upon relationships as it does on strategy. In fact, our communication is our biggest point of leverage, bar none. Sixty per cent of mergers and acquisitions fail to produce return on investment due primarily to the difficulty in combining organizational cultures - a process that depends heavily on consistent communication and understanding the various frames of reference of all parties. It is yet another example of "the soft stuff driving the hard stuff.

Coach's tip: Ask yourself: how do you know how well you communicate? How clear are you about your impact on others? Ask your stakeholders for feedback and then for feedforward (suggestions for improvement) about what you do well and how to improve. Remember, your communication is a knowledge engine for your company! Finally, ask yourself - how would communicating even better benefit both me and my organization? What are the "hard" profits that will result from developing this "soft" competency?
Remember, as Peter Drucker points out, organizations are no longer built on force. They are increasingly built on trust. And trust has much to do with the quality and clarity of our communication as leaders.

Tribute to Peter Drucker (1909 - 2005) by Marshall Goldsmith
At one meeting of the Board of the Peter Drucker Foundation, I asked Peter, "You have written so much about mission - what is your mission?" He laughed and replied, "My mission is to help other people achieve their goals - assuming that they are not immoral or unethical!"
