Founder, CEO, Compassionate Disrupter & Igniter: Paul Mac Leadership • Best Selling Author of The F.I.R.E.D. LeaderTM • Speaker on Disruptive Leadership • Compassionate Disrupter • Organizational Toxicity Guide How do you want to be introduced? Paul McCarthy is a seasoned leadership expert with 25 years of experience, having held multiple executive roles. Despite being fired from four positions for embodying and advocating for the very leadership qualities he was hired for, Paul remains a vocal critic of the current leadership system. Paul believes that organizations need leaders who exhibit "disruptive and rebellious" qualities to navigate ongoing disruptions successfully. By recruiting and training leaders in these "counterintuitive" qualities, organizations can retain future leaders longer and foster growth in leadership and organizational cultures. Paul's approach involves an evidence-based, experiential, and experimental methodology, meeting organizations at various stages of their leadership journey: awareness, awakening, addressing issues, embracing new methods, and embodying effective leadership.
