FIRED FOR WHAT YOU WERE HIRED TO DO, WHAT?

I invited Paul McCarthy The Chief Fired Officer of discuss what FIRED Leadership was all about. Having been fired from four jobs, I was curious to find out what actually transpired for him to be hired and then get fired, that too four times over. What unfolded was that he was FIRED FOR WHAT HE WAS HIRED TO DO! Didn't make any sense so we did a deep dive on the topic. Was Paul, not capable for the job? Was he not liked by the people in the company? Was he totally unsuited for the role? But then would that be the reason for him getting fired with all 4 organizations??? Well, that's the strange part, after 6 to 9 lengthy interview processes he was found the perfect match for the four companies that appointed him. He was appointed to challenge status quo, the prevailing methods were not bringing about the desired results for the companies that appointed him. His role was to disrupt status quo, to help the organizations break away from the mundane way of conducting business, he was to come up with something innovative creative that would make the organization grow and do much better, He then gets fired for it. What did Paul learn through these several firings, Did he go why me? Did he wallow in self pity? Did he doubt himself? Well None of the above, instead he made it his mission to delve deeper to find out what made organizations hire to challenge status quo and then fire people. Paul has started something of a movement called FIRED LEADERSHIP and in this interview he shares what FIRED ACTUALLY STANDS FOR. In his words and I agree, if any organization has to progress, it has to be open to Challenging Status Quo, after all, it is when you allow for that, can any organization truly grow. The question though is; Are Organizations Willing to Challenge and or Disrupt Status Quo? Is the Leadership within the organizations willing to do so? Do they allow for these kinds of conversations. The future of the workplace depends on innovation, creation and engaging everyone to participate that can only happen when the objective of the organization is greater than any hidden agendas or personal biases that come in the way of the progress of any Organization.
