Howard Goldman (born 1945) is an American author,〔American Business Writer, "(management )"〕 management consultant, executive performance coach, speaker and travel blogger. Goldman is the author of ''Choose What Works: The Proven Secrets to Professional Greatness'', in which he shares his step-by-step approach used by leaders and teams at international organizations, including Fortune 500 companies. The book has been translated into six languages and was the #1 best seller on Amazon Japan-Business Books.〔Amazon Japan-Business Books Best Seller List, "()" "()"〕 Key concepts from this book, such as “focused intent” in strategic process development, and building a career through informed choices have been discussed in the Harvard Business Review 〔“Remain in control of setting your priorities” Paul Michelman, Harvard Management Review, syndicated column, 5/9/2004〕 and the Miami Herald.〔“Before you move on, make sure it’s what you want”: Rob Kallick, Miami Herald, 1/25.2004〕 Since "Choose What Works" was published, Mr. Goldman has generated controversy through his latest work, "The Death of Loyalty", (scheduled for publishing in 2014). Goldman is said to assert “in America we have many seemingly lazy, complacent people who are basking in the illusion of entitlement, like the world owes them a living.”.〔“Books author says loyalty is antiquated”; Teresa McAleavy, Knight RidderNewspaper – syndicated, 6/27/2004〕 “ And the sad part is, the people who are taking our jobs are better educated, more ambitious, and higher skilled than we are.”.〔“Firm owes you zip, author says”; Teresa McAleavy, The Seattle Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer, 7/4/2004〕 Goldman notes in the Harvard Management Review, that many firms see managers’ and employees’ enthusiasm for projects fizzle as inefficiencies, lack of closure, and other frustrations “bleed off” energy. “People conclude that the next project in the pipeline won’t work, just like the previous one didn’t." In response, Goldman initiated using an empowered program manager for complex, cross-functional projects in matrixed environments, all related to a shared strategic goal." 〔Close the Gap Between Projects and Strategy, Lauren Keller Johnson February 27, 2008 Harvard Management Update http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/hmu/2008/02/close-the-gap-between-projects-1.html〕 Goldman is credited with authoring the term “creative agents",〔“Expert says work loyalty is a fairy tale”; Teresa McAleavy, Akron Beacon Journal, 7/19/2004〕 referring to knowledge workers with marketable skills as a hallmark of the emerging marketplace of globally competitive employment. ==Early years== Goldman was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1945. His father, Reuben Goldman, was a dentist, and his mother Ethel was a homemaker. He was educated at Pennsylvania State University and Temple University, receiving a Bachelor of Science in Communications (Major: Film Direction) in 1968. He served in The United States Coast Guard Reserve from 1967 – 1973, and received training as a medical corpsman. After graduation from college, Goldman moved to Los Angeles and was hired at Capitol Records in marketing in 1969. He became the Director of Artist Development at Capitol, designing promotional campaigns for such artists as The Beatles (as a group and their individual album releases), Pink Floyd, The Band, James Taylor and Linda Ronstadt. He was influenced in the creation of his approach to organizational performance through study of eastern philosophies, yoga, transpersonal psychology, and elements of the human potential movement in the 60s and 70s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Howard Goldman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
