Welcome back to Inside Personal Growth! Joining us today is Kevin W. McCarthy featuring one of his books Chief Leadership Officer: Increasing Wealth So Everyone Profits.

Kevin has invested decades of his life answering the philosophical question of “why does he exist” with practical application and he believes that it starts with knowing your purpose in life. Kevin is the world’s leading innovator and authority about clarity of purpose and, more importantly, powerfully putting purpose to work, or being on-purpose. He is a classically educated leader with an undergraduate degree in business and economics from Lehigh University and an MBA from The Darden School on the grounds of the University of Virginia.

Kevin is also the Chief Leadership Officer of On-Purpose Partners, a business strategy advisory firm serving CEOs and CLOs based in Winter Park, FL. He founded the firm in 1983. On-Purpose Partners is in the business of client clarity of purpose and then building and expanding towards a vision, i.e. being on-purpose.

Kevin has actually been here in Inside Personal Growth 17 years ago on our 3rd episode. Now, he’s back for one of his good-to-read books entitled Chief Leadership Officer: Increasing Wealth So Everyone Profits. The premise of this book’s message and movement is simple. The title and role of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) is obsolete. But as we are already into the Digital Age, a reformation in business is needed hence new times call for new leadership. Thus, Kevin introduces Chief Leadership Officers (CLOs). CLOs authentically embrace people, not as ‘human resources,’ but as human beings, the crucial contributors to organizational success.
