Career

[edit]

From 1976 to 1980, Goldsmith was an assistant professor and then associate dean at Loyola Marymount University's College of Business.[7] He later served as a professor of management practice at Dartmouth College's Tuck School of Business.[8] In 1977, he entered the field of management education after meeting Paul Hersey, and Goldsmith later co-founded the management education firm Keilty, Goldsmith and Company.[9] He became a founding partner of the Marshall Goldsmith Group, an executive coaching group.[10] Throughout Marshall's career, he has worked with CEOs from over 200 companies.[11]
