Marshall Goldsmith on balancing technology and other skills

By Shawn Callahan. Follow me on Twitter. Filed in Collaboration, Quotes.

I heard Marshall Goldsmith say this on my ipod this morning:

"So many people have spent a lifetime for preparing themselves for technological skills yet have spent no time training themselves on how to influence people so the technical skills make a difference."

The same is true for collaboration. So many people have spent countless hours preparing themselves for collaboration technology skills yet have spent no time learning how to collaborate so the technical skills make a difference.

hi Shawn -

Troy
