Muslim Leadership: An Oxymoron?
Since I have been mentioned a couple of times in this discussion, I would like to contribute a few thoughts:
- One process that I use in my executive coaching practice is called ``feedforward``. The key components of feedforward are: 1) focus on the future (which we can change) - not the past (which we cannot change), 2) learn to listen to others ideas without judgment - and say ``thank you`` when people try to help you, 3) when speaking to others - help as much as you can, 4) when listening to others - learn as much as you can and 5) overall - help more and judge less!
- In my older years I have decided to `give away as much as I can`. My new website, www.MarshallGoldmithLibrary.com, has hundreds of free articles, columns, interviews, audios and even videos. Please feel free to read, listen, watch, download, copy and share whatever you wish - with whomever you wish. If any of my work helps you anyone you know have a better life - I will feel great!
- Although I am a Buddhist, I am still a ``citizen of the world``. Your dialogue is very important. If I could help any of your leaders advance your cause in a positive way - that helps bring us all together - not apart - please just contact me at Marshall@MarshallGoldsmith.com.
Thank you very much for your kind comments about me and for your interest in my work.
Life is good.
