Kevin W. McCarthy pioneered the conversation about purpose starting in the late 1980s. His books The On-Purpose Person (1992, 2009) and The On-Purpose Business Person (1998, 2013) provide readers a fully integrated life–work approach.
Kevin holds an MBA from The Darden School at the University of Virginia, and a BS in Business and Economics from Lehigh University.
Integrating Business, Marketing, Sales, Strategy | Author, Professional Keynote Speaker
Why America's Chief Leadership Officer? Leadership is ageless and essential, but an underdeveloped competency in the Digital Age and beyond when most needed. It is deeply personal, yet profoundly expressive through businesses and organizations. And, it starts with purpose—the answer to "Why ...?"
Most know me as the author of the leadership books
The On-Purpose Person The On-Purpose Business Person. Pioneering the purpose conversation started for me in the late 1980s and continues today as I speak, write, and consult. On-Purpose® is my approach; more importantly, it is my call to eradicate meaninglessness, articulate purpose and help people be on-purpose.
I'm a long-time business owner with a classic business education and entrepreneurial experience, but a gracious iconoclast about Corporate America and business, in general. For all its services rendered there's a dark side of destruction and disengagement. On-Purpose affords us to profit the world and gain our souls! Chief Leadership Officer extends this message and directs to the influencers of today and tomorrow.
Chief Leadership Officer challenges the previously unchallenged: the title, role, power, and posture of the CEO. Every business book being read today assumes a CEO-style led business. What if a CEO-led business is the problem and everything else is a symptom?
I relate to profit-makers, those who build-out ideas, take risks, make decisions, engage teams, and responsibly make their greater contribution to others. My unique gift—where most see chaos or confusion, I see repeating patterns against an invisible framework called On-Purpose that makes it all make more sense. I'm a leadership and organizational development designer with decades of evidence that On-Purpose works, really well. And I'm a written and spoken word communicator who actually writes his own books.
I am America's Chief Leadership Officer because we're heading into a new era—the Age of Purpose where leading trumps execution. The movement needs voice, a point person to cut the first path and invite others to follow and improve upon it. Prediction: CLOs will replace CEOs. Told you I am an iconoclast, who is preparing the leaders of tomorrow, on-purpose.
