Marshall Goldsmith marshallgoldsmithlibrary.com has taught executive education at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business. He has worked with over 120 major CEOs and their management teams. He is the founder of 100 Coaches, a group of top executives and leadership experts dedicated to developing inspired leaders for the future.

On the surface, Goldsmith's approach to coaching is both insouciant and disciplined. He has a daily routine of asking himself 22 questions that he systematically revises as his priorities change. The answers to those questions are what determine his success, or lack of it, that day.
