A disruptive leader challenges the status quo and traditional ways of thinking, behaving and doing business. Known for their ability to challenge conventional thinking and to push boundaries to create innovative and groundbreaking solutions, disruptive leaders are risk-takers who are willing to take bold steps to achieve their goals. Disruptive leadership can also be controversial, challenge established systems and structures, and may not always be welcomed by those who benefit from the status quo. Paul McCarthy breaks down myths and stigma surrounding disruptive leaders and challenges your perception to understand why we need disruptive leaders and what will happen if we don’t embrace these leaders into how we identify, recruit, onboard and develop our future leadership talent pipeline.
