Thinkers50 has announced Marshall Goldsmith as the recipient of the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, to be presented at the Thinkers50 London Summit & Leaders50 Awards Gala in November.
The Lifetime Achievement Award is given to someone who has had a long-term impact on the way people think about and practice management.
A pioneer in the field of business education, Marshall is the global authority in helping successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behaviour: for themselves, their people and their teams. He is the creator of the Stakeholder-Centered Coaching method and the inspiration behind the 100 Coaches global network and has authored or edited over 60 books including four New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestsellers:
- What Got You Here Won’t Get You There (with Mark Reiter, Grand Central Publishing, 2007)
- MOJO: How To Get It, How To Keep It, How To Get It Back If You Lose It (with Mark Reiter, Grand Central Publishing, 2010)
- Triggers (with Mark Reiter, Crown Currency, 2015)
- The Earned Life (with Mark Reiter, Crown Currency, 2022)
“Hyperactive and relentlessly positive, Marshall Goldsmith’s reputation is based on results. His contribution to leadership excellence is second-to-none.”– Des Dearlove, Thinkers50 co-founder.
“Marshall’s impact can be seen in the hundreds of leaders he has mentored, and the thousands they in turn lead. At the heart of his approach is a deep understanding of the human side of leadership. His own humility and openness encourage others to recognise both their extraordinary strengths as well as their vulnerabilities – and, importantly, to ask for help.” – Sanyin Siang, Executive Director of the Coach K Center on Leadership & Ethics (COLE) at Duke’s Fuqua School of Business; Thinkers50 Coaching & Mentoring Award 2019, Coaching Legends 2023, Thinkers50 Ranking.
Marshall featured in the Thinkers50 Ranking between 2007 and 2017 and was inducted into the Thinkers50 Hall of Fame in 2018, upon which the Marshall Goldsmith Distinguished Achievement Award for Coaching & Mentoring was created. He will be presented with the Thinkers50 Lifetime Achievement Award at an exclusive reception at London’s Guildhall on Sunday 1 November, the evening prior to the Thinkers50 London Summit & Leaders50 Awards Gala. Previous recipients of the Lifetime Achievement Award include Lynda Gratton, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Tom Peters, and Charles Handy.
Celebrating 25 years of Thinkers50, this year’s London Summit brings together the world’s foremost management thinkers and business leaders to challenge assumptions, spark fresh ideas, and shape the future of leadership. Discussions and keynotes will follow three key themes at the heart of management and leadership: purpose, technology, and talent.

Speakers at this year’s London Summit include Liz Wiseman, author of Multipliers; Jesper Brodin, former CEO of IKEA; Rahaf Harfoush, author of Hustle & Float; Erin Meyer, author of The Culture Map; Ndidi Okonkwo Nwuneli, executive chair, Sahel Group and co-founder, Wealth4Impact; and Kevin Nolan, President/CEO of GE Appliances.
