This video series explores the different elements that make up New Leadership, with Koos Groenewoud explaining a different aspect in each one.
Who is Marshall Goldsmith?
He's an American executive coach who has now mentored 120 CEOs. Koos Groenewoud came across him by chance in 2008, when he tried to buy a ticket for a talk by Marshall Rosenberg and ended up with Marshall Goldsmith instead. Goldsmith is the author of What Got You Here Won't Get You There.
Why does it come down to behaviour?
Koos shares a story that has stuck with him. Goldsmith once coached an admiral from the U.S. Department of Defense, a real macho type, and asked him where he needed to change his behaviour. The admiral wasn't sure, then suggested maybe he could listen a bit better. Why, Goldsmith asked. So I can respond better to questions, the admiral said. And why else? At that point the admiral admitted that if he listened better, perhaps his children would want to talk to him again. That, Koos says, is what it's really about. The success of Covey, Greenleaf, and Goldsmith all boils down to the same thing, people want to be treated honestly, fairly, and with respect.
The bad habits of leaders
In this second part, Koos turns to the "bad habits" of leaders, all of which trace back to behaviour. Without meaning to, you can chip away at your staff's motivation. So Koos offers practical tips on how to keep your people motivated and give them the trust they deserve.
The New Leadership series
Across four videos, Koos Groenewoud discusses the opportunities and possibilities that New Leadership offers. In the first video, he explains exactly what New Leadership means, and why it isn't "soft stuff" but something that genuinely delivers results.
