Mojo: How to Get It, How to Keep It, How to Get It Back if You Lose It
Mojo is the moment when we do something that's purposeful, powerful, and
positive and the rest of the world recognizes it. This book is about
that moment--and how we can create it in our lives, maintain it, and
recapture it when we need it.

In his follow-up to the New York Times bestseller What Got You Here
Won't Get You There, #1 executive coach Marshall Goldsmith shares the
ways in which to get--and keep--our Mojo. Our professional and personal
Mojo is impacted 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 what have you've done lately?), and
acceptance (what can you change--and when do you need to just "let it
go"?). Goldsmith outlines the positive actions leaders must take, with
their teams or themselves, to initiate winning streaks and keep them
coming.
Mojo is: that positive spirit--towards what we are doing--now--that
starts from the inside--and radiates to the outside. Mojo is at its peak
when we are experiencing both happiness and meaning in what we are
doing and communicating this experience to the world around us. The Mojo
Toolkit provides fourteen practical tools to help you achieve both
happiness and meaning--not only in business, but in life.
Reviews:
"_Mojo_ moves us to define who we are in a new and illuminating way!
Mojo is a guidebook for the leaders of the future. Thank you, Marshall!"
-- Frances Hesselbein, Distinguished Chair of Leadership, U.S. Military
Academy, West Point; winner, U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom; former
CEO, Girl Scouts of the U.S.A.
"Marshall's Mojo provides wonderful perspectives and tools for each of
us--to integrate and focus our lives--to contribute--and to serve. Thank
you!"
-- Alan Mulally, CEO, Ford; winner, Leader of the Future Award, Leader-to-Leader Institute
"A mantra for self-realization and self-actualization. I regard the
concept of Mojo as a milestone in our quest for meaning and
evolution--and a beacon in our journey to our inner world."
-- GM Rao, CEO, GMR; and Entrepreneur of the Year (India)
"Another thought-provoking, practical, and insightful book by Marshall. I
love the simplicity and wisdom in dealing with human behavior in
business and, more importantly, in our personal lives."
-- Eduardo Castro-Wright, Vice Chairman, Walmart Stores, Inc., the world's largest retailer
"Those of us who have been lucky enough to spend time in a classroom
with Marshall Goldsmith know what a positive influence his teaching can
have. In Mojo, Marshall shares his scholarship more broadly and teaches
us all how to turn inertia in our professional or personal lives into
meaning and happiness. There is no more important lesson in business or
in life!"
-- Tom Glocer, CEO, Thomson Reuters
"As soon as I started reading this book, I felt my Mojo rising. The next
best thing to being coached by Marshall is reading his books. His
writing always gets me revved up and focused on getting the most meaning
and happiness out of my day. This book can elevate any reader's game."
-- Mark Tercek, CEO, Nature Conservancy; former Managing Partner, Goldman Sachs
"Marshall Goldsmith is one of a kind: a unique and brilliant combination
of getting inside our minds about those problems which keep us awake at
night-- and not only clarifying, but actually solving them! Lively and
engaging. A d*** good read, which every leader will not only enjoy, but
profit from."
-- Warren Bennis, bestselling author, Distinguished Professor at USC, and world authority on leadership
"Marshall's books are very much like Marshall-- insightful, direct,
focused, wise, clear, somewhat provocative, positive, lively, and
energetic. For those who have not worked with Marshall and experienced
these qualities, his latest book, Mojo, is a great substitute. Mojo is
like him-- a little crazy, yet very helpful!"
-- Jonathan Klein, CEO, Getty Images; American Photo's "Most Important Person in Photography"
"Marshall has a gift for identifying the essential ingredients of
success-- for individuals and organizations. The insights in Mojo are
certain to help people at all stages of their career tap their full
potential and live more fulfilling lives. Another great book, Marshall!"
-- John Hammergren, CEO, McKesson Corporation; winner, Warren Bennis Award for Leadership
"_Mojo_ is elusive, hard to define, at least as old as homo sapiens . . .
and worth its weight in gold. This thoughtful and thought-provoking
book should be read by anyone who has tasted Mojo and wants more."
-- Kevin Kelly, CEO, Heidrick and Struggles, global search and advisory firm
"Marshall helps leaders, aspiring leaders, and anyone who wants to
enrich their personal and professional lives focus on actions that
provide both meaning and happiness. Mojo is a great reminder that we're
most likely to enjoy success in our careers and lives when we regularly
take the time to be honest with ourselves."
-- Chris Kubasik, President, Lockheed Martin; Chairman, Sandia Corporation
"Marshall provides an array of case studies where he combines business
challenges around navigating in the `new normal' with real tools-- tools
for yourself and tools for you to help others that you care about.
Thanks to Marshall for providing another wonderful read, with both short
term and longer term ideas for personal growth."
-- Teresa Ressel, CEO, UBS Securities LLC; former Chief Financial Officer, U.S. Treasury
"Marshall clearly articulates the payoff -- for your company, your
family, your community, and yourself-- of having more meaning and
happiness in your life. And he provides a compelling and clear road map
for getting you there."
--Greg Brown, President and CEO, Motorola
"One more great book by Marshall! With his typical depth, simplicity,
and clarity, he helps me understand, accept, and improve my Mojo with
lasting positive impact!"
-- Fabrizio Parini, CEO, Lindt (Italy); former CEO, Ghirardelli Chocolate
"Marshall Goldsmith is a master at making us think more deeply about
ourselves and the world we work in. Mojo is a grabber-- uniquely
provocative-- and moves the reader to act. Quite a gift!"
-- Jon Katzenbach, bestselling author of The Wisdom of Teams; Senior Partner, Booz and Company
