Hyper-achieving CEOs and senior executives know that performance matters. But for many, defining exactly what performance is supposed to look like is a challenge, let alone measuring it, developing the necessary skill sets, and deriving deeper satisfaction from increased performance. This is an even bigger challenge for business leaders preparing for retirement.
My name is John Furth and I help clients deal with day-to-day issues, challenges, and opportunities with less stress, more confidence, and better results. Through two frameworks I’ve developed, “The Owning Tomorrow Performance Model” and “The Six Plus Two P’s of Leadership”, clients discover the importance of accountability, maintaining discipline and good habits, and starting a virtuous cycle of continuous learning.
But the work doesn’t end there. At some point, my clients’ confidence, courage, and commitment increase to such an extent that they find themselves able to achieve greater things than they originally thought. When that happens, they have taken an important first step to transformation, a journey that becomes more exciting and rewarding every day.

At some point in our business lives, we all make mistakes – from minor ones to devastatingly major errors of judgment. Most successful businesses survive even the worst of them. We learn and move on. But not these three CEOs. They soldiered forward – not listening to their advisors, Boards or employees – wiping out immense amounts of their company’s value. One Founder/CEO, Elizabeth Holmes, even managed to destroy the company she had so passionately started.
Watch the video above for a short but compelling interview clip about some very big mistakes that you should avoid.
