Rose grad named influential management thinker
Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology alumnus Marshall Goldsmith has joined Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and Jack Welch among the world’s most influential management thinkers on the Thinkers 50 2009 list, an internationally recognized biennial guide published in The Times of London.

He improved from being ranked 34th on the listing in 2007.
Goldsmith’s best-selling book “What Got You Here Won’t Get You There” was a New York Times best-seller, the Wall Street Journal’s No. 1 business book and winner of the Harold Longman Award for Best Business Book of the Year. It has been translated into 23 languages and is a listed best-seller in six different countries.
Joining Goldsmith on this year’s Thinkers 50 list was CK Prahalad of the University of Michigan Business School, No. 1 for the second straight year; Malcolm Gladwell, best-selling author of The Tipping Point, Blink and Outliers, No. 2; Nobel Prize-winning economist Paul Krugman, No. 3; Apple founder Steve Jobs, No. 4; Microsoft founder Bill Gates, No. 7; business management consultant Tom Peters, No. 19; former General Electric Chairman and CEO Jack Welch, No. 20; management expert/author Stephen Covey, No. 29; and Pulitzer Prize winning author Thomas Friedman, No. 30.
Goldsmith earned a mathematical economics degree from Rose-Hulman in 1970 and then went on to earn an a master’s in business administration from Indiana University and a doctorate from UCLA.
