‘Mojo moves us to define who we are in a new and illuminating way! Mojo is a guidebook for the leaders of the future.’
Frances Hesselbein, Distinguished Chair of Leadership, US Military Academy, West Point
Description: In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here Won’t Get You There, Marshall Goldsmith, one of the world’s preeminent executive coaches, explains how we can capture, keep and if necessary regain our mojo.
Mojo is the positive spirit towards what we are doing now that starts from the inside and radiates to the outside. Our professional and personal mojo is affected by four key factors: Identity (Who do you think you are?); Achievement (What have you done lately?); Reputation (Who do other people think you are?) and Acceptance (What can you change – and when do you need to just ‘let it go’?).
Mojo is at its peak when we are experiencing happiness and meaning in what we are doing, and communicating this experience to the world around us (as opposed to sharing our ‘nojo’). Based on years of Marshall’s experience coaching the world’s top CEOs, the mojo toolkit reveals how to do this, through fourteen practical tools that will help you achieve happiness and meaning – not only in business, but also in life.
