In this month’s episode of The New P&L Business Book Review Club we speak to the incredible Dr Ruth Gotian. Ruth is the Chief Learning Officer and former Assistant Dean of Mentoring and Executive Director of the Mentoring Academy at Weill Cornell Medicine at Cornell university.
Ruth has been hailed by the journal Nature and Columbia University as an expert in mentorship and leadership development. In 2021, Ruth was selected as one of 30 people worldwide to be named to the Thinkers50 Radar List, dubbed the Oscars of management thinking. Recently, Ruth also won the Thinkers50 Distinguished Achievement - Radar Award given to a “thinker with the potential to change the world of theory and practice” which cemented her place as the #1 emerging management thinker in the world. She is also a semi-finalist for the Forbes50 Over 50 list.
In her research for her brilliant new book, The Success Factor, which officially launches later this week, Ruth studied and interviewed extreme high achievers, including Nobel Prize winners, astronauts, Olympic champions to figure out what has made them so successful, the mindset and skill set of peak performers and how the rest of us can learn how to also achieve at this level. We discuss with Ruth:
· What defines resilience in a business context
· How high performers master their minds
· The problems with appraisals
· Whether high achievers drifted into, or were determined to always be what they became
· Why we should do something important not just interesting in our careers
· what incentives motivate high achievers
· Marco- and micro-motivations
· How we can recognise our intrinsic motivations
· Conducting a passion audit
