Teaching Leaders What To Stop: Playing Favorites
Why do so many of leaders play favorites and why are we in denial about this tendency?
In this new video, Marshall Goldsmith, one of the most influential management thinkers in the world and a member of i4cp's Thought Leader Consortium, outlines why leaders play favorites--and the consequences of doing so.
The video is the third in a series of videos and blogs by Marshall and Thinkers50. Marshall's video blogs, and accompanying written blogs, will be posted once a week for the next 50 weeks. The series will incorporate learning from Marshall's 38 years of experience with top executives, as well as material from his previous research, articles and books, including What Got You Here Won't Get You There, MOJO, Coaching for Leadership, and Succession: Are You Ready?
