My guest in this episode is John Foong. 

John has experience working for some of the largest companies in the world, including Google and Uber, where he oversaw record revenue growth (e.g., boosting Google Cloud's channel revenue into the billions as global lead). 

Growing up in Australia, he graduated with an MBA and Masters in Education from Stanford and then spent 17 years working in the UK, US, and Africa. In 2014, he became one of the youngest Directors globally at Google. Now back in Australia, he serves as the Chief Revenue Officer at Domain, one of Australasia's leading real estate marketplaces.

Some of the highlights of our conversation include learning great leadership from great leaders around the world being a leader of leaders of leaders, a healthy response to tough feedback from your team, the importance of loving your executive leadership team peer group, and the fact that people don’t leave organisations, they leave leaders.

At the end of our conversation, John made a generous offer to listeners to buy anyone who reaches out a copy of Marshall Goldsmith’s book What Got You Here Won’t Get You There. To take up this offer simply email [email protected] with the subject line “YES TO JOHN’S BOOK GIFT OFFER” and you’ll be sent a copy of the book.
