Success and Legacy

Northwestern Mutual’s recently retired CEO John Schlifske had a 14-year run – almost triple the tenure of most big company CEOs. Does a Fortune 500 CEO have a very different job from the leaders of privately-owned construction companies? Yes and no. Can contractors learn from big business CEOs? You bet they can!

Please tune in this week as Wayne reviews Schlifske’s short but incredibly insightful article from the daily CEO Newsletter (you have subscribed, haven’t you?) and details his six “must have” CEO habits. What’s your reaction? Small company CEO tenures are generally much longer than public company ones. Do the same rules apply? Email us your thoughts at: wrivers@performanceconstruction.com

Empower the construction leaders of tomorrow by enrolling them to PCA's Contractor Business Boot Camp. This is a unique leadership development program where we've crafted a comprehensive curriculum that covers everything the rising leaders need to know (and learn) to work ON their business rather than IN their business. A new class begins in May 2025 in Raleigh, NC. Contact Charlotte at ckopp3@performanceconstruction.com to find out more.
