Growing your business with People

In our last episode of the season, we welcome international best-selling author, Kevin W. McCarthy to discuss importance of aligning personal purpose with organizational purpose. According to Kevin, when the purpose of the person is aligned with the purpose of the organization, magic happens, energy is created, and engagement is increased. Purpose, people, and profit are all interconnected and should be integrated rather than balanced. Leaders should focus on being stewards of the purpose, the business, and the people. Creating a culture that aligns with the purpose of the organization is crucial for long-term success.Kevin McCarthy is an author, speaker, and thought leader on the subject of purpose. He has written several books on purpose and leadership, including "The On-Purpose Person" and "Chief Leadership Officer."
