arting Today!

"When I hired Joseph to work with me as the CEO of my company I didn't know what to expect except that I wanted to work less and grow my business - outcomes that seemed completely contradictory to me at the time.

I went from working 16 hours a day, six or seven days a week, to working on average 6 hours a day four or five days a week. In that time our company profits increased more than 20% and we're on track to improve profits by double that amount again this year!

I don't know exactly what Joseph did with me over the year I spent working with him, but I do know that it worked. I am now operating as the leader and business professional I wanted to be when I first contacted Joseph. What's even more important to me is that I now have time to do all the things I want to do ... go to the gym, spend time with my family, read more ... and just relax without worrying that there's something I should be doing instead."


Venus Huang, CEO - CS Innovations Marketing Group Co. Ltd., Taipei, Taiwan


For more than twenty years Dr. Joseph Riggio has been mentoring senior business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals globally. During this time he has explored and developed the most effective and efficient methods of creating dramatic performance improvement.

A realization became obvious in Dr. Riggio's decades of mentoring:

Most senior business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs and professionals equate doing better with doing more.

Yet these same clients expressed that their greatest desire was to be working less, while becoming more successful ... and their greatest concern was that this was literally going to be an impossible equation.

Virtually everyone one of these clients also said they heard the common-sense "advice" regularly bandied about, "Work smarter, not harder."

In the real world the answer is NOT as simple as "Work Smarter, Not Harder" ... 

You'll have to find a way to go far beyond that simple aphorism if you really intend to significantly increase your success while simultaneously working less.

The real challenge is that unlike the old aphorism: "Success Breeds Success" ... the reality is that: more often than not, "Success Breeds Complacency."

What Dr. Riggio found that senior business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals "patterns of success" - once they attain a certain level of personal performance and professional achievement - ultimately lead them to become stagnant and get stuck on a plateau at their present level - seemingly unable to move beyond that point.

Joseph sums up his performance improvement philosophy when he says:

"The Greatest Indicator of Limitation is Success, NOT Failure."

It is much harder to move beyond "Success" than it is to move beyond "Failure." Almost everyone is willing, and even able, to move beyond failure once they recognize that what they're doing isn't working. However, many, if not all, of these same people perceive their patterns of success as the "right way" of operating to produce results, NOT as a step along they way to extraordinary performance and productivity.

The biggest downside to this is that when these people need and want to create bigger results and achieve outcomes that have in the past eluded them they simply believe working harder is the answer ... doing more of what they did to create the success they currently have.

However it's abundantly clear that, doing more of what you've always done cannot possibly get you what you haven't gotten, only doing something else can possibly produce a different result.

The evidence is absolutely clear:

Doing what you've done has only gotten you the outcomes you now have,
not the ones you don't yet have ... and most desire.




Leadership Impeccability:

There's an old Irish saying: "You can'na get there from here." This is never more true than in the domain of performance and productivity. If you truly want to do more with less than you'll have to reset the starting point, and then begin from there.

We've found that it takes a combination of a clear vision, intense focus, high-quality decision-making, world-class strategic implementation, and exquisite communication to create the kind of results that make it possible to significantly increase success, while simultaneously working less.

We call this combination "leadership impeccability."

For a leader to act with impeccability requires that they are remarkably focused and clear within themselves. In twenty plus years we’ve found that this is a function of the ability to be both self-reflexive and self-aware, as well as to be able to articulate your intentions with absolute crystalline clarity to others.

When leaders, executives, entrepreneurs and professionals become truly self-reflexive and self-aware, attaining what we call "leadership impeccability" becomes possible. When these leaders are also able to articulate their intentions so that others to want to join them as they move forward, the impact of achieving impeccability becomes obvious.

The question you have to ask and answer for yourself is simple:

Do you want this to be the year that you ... Work Less ... Earn More ... Begin Making Significant Contributions ... and Build a Lasting Legacy ... that continues long after you've decided to step back from it all and move on to the next thing?

For more than twenty years this is the primary work that Dr. Joseph Riggio has been researching and applying with his private clients worldwide. These clients typically pay ten to one hundred times the investment for the Leadership Performance Design program for a year of Dr. Riggio's time mentoring and guiding them personally. Now, for the first time ever, Joseph has decided to organize the kind of program that he has in the past exclusively presented for CEOs, Presidents, Managing Directors and Chairpersons of major international organizations behind closed doors and to make it available to you.

The kind of results that this work has produced includes: significant profit improvement (from 20% to more than 100% in a single year) ... innovation leading to large market-share acquisition ... reduction in "time-to-market" product and service offerings ... deep savings in organizational expenses ... complete organizational re-design ... individual career advancement ... personal life-quality integration (often reducing the time required to be "on the job" by 50% or more, while increasing performance and productivity) ... and the achievement of major life aspirations like writing a book, establishing or rebuilding intimate personal relationships and finding a profound peace of mind and personal certainty ... what has at times been referred to as "life balance."

The sum total of your participation in the Leadership Performance Design program is about moving beyond mere success to having profound satisfaction ... to go beyond surviving to thriving. What most of Joseph's clients want more than success as it's ordinarily defined as "having more" is to know with certainty, and without question, that they "have enough." Ultimately this is about living well, living long and prospering in the deepest sense possible.


Program Overview:

The Leadership Performance Design program is literally the cutting-edge of Joseph's work that he's been developing and refining over the past twenty years. This is the structure that he's perfected in working with dozens of the top management teams - senior-most leaders and their direct reports - globally, to create world-class individual and organizational improvement.

What's Included in the Leadership Performance Design Program:

  • Individual Strategic Development Plans - resulting in a "Plan of Action" for the year

  • (2) Two-Day Off-Site Retreats - group sessions facilitated directly by Dr. Joseph Riggio

  • (10) Monthly Group Calls - unique to the individual group you are working in and with

  • Monthly "Best Practices" Monograph - written by Joseph to extend your learning and development over the course of the year in the Leadership Performance Design program

    (for program information click here: Performance Design)

Leadership Performance Design is the result of distilling more than twenty years of experience and expertise into a potent program that has the singular intention of generating leadership impeccability in everyone who participates.

The aim of Leadership Performance Design is to create a platform for significant career advancement and/or significant business growth and success.

The essential structure of the program is simplicity itself ... (2) two-day off-site retreats over the course of the year with a group of highly like-minded business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals who are seeking a direct path to professional performance improvement and personal life enhancement. In addition to these (2) two-day retreats we'll also spend about an hour a month spent on a group mentoring call in all the months when we don't meet live. You'll also get a monthly monograph from Joseph covering best practices for business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals ... plus free access included to Performance Design, Joseph's primary personal development program too.

The Leadership Performance Design program creates a highly concentrated professional development experience with maximum impact,
and a minimal investment of money, energy and time.


Over the two days with a group limited to a maximum of fifteen primary participants Joseph will expertly facilitate a process that will help you arrive at a clear a vision, focus and strategy for achieving your results.

One of the most powerful aspects of this process will be the way it eliminates the extras ... all the stuff you don't need to, and shouldn't be, putting any of your attention on.

With this kind of clarity in place you'll find you have all the enthusiasm, energy and and time you want to accomplish all of your outcomes ...
professionally and personally!


Joseph has the experience, skills and knowledge to ask exactly the right questions at the right time, to give you precise input you need to make critical decisions and take the next steps and the wisdom to know when to remain silent so you can do this for yourself. The result of Joseph's expert facilitation and mentoring is that within the year you will be far more effective at producing the results you intend with far less required of you to get things done.


What's Next:

The year we spend together in the Leadership Performance Design program is not where we’re looking for incremental improvement as the measure of success ...  instead we are looking for radical leadership transformation.
