Integrity First: Where Kindness, Respect, and Innovation Meet with Barry McCarthy
Barry McCarthy—CEO of Deluxe Corporation, a trusted payments and data company—visits the Dale Carnegie Take Command Podcast to share his wisdom. “If we lose a customer, we can find another customer. If we lose our reputation, there’s no way to get another reputation back, which means that integrity is incredibly important.” Integrity is what engages employees in the company mission and ultimately delivers for customers. Tune in to hear Barry’s thoughts on how to build (and destroy) passion, how to show you’re ready to be a leader, and why communication supports all your other goals.
Being only the 9th CEO in Deluxe Corporation’s 109-year existence, Barry McCarthy feels the weight of that history, saying, “You start with a deep sense of humbleness that you are carrying on a legacy that has been so significant for so long.” But that doesn’t mean Barry will treat any company with kid gloves. He says, “I think of myself as something of a fixer, a reinventor, an innovator.” And there’s no better spot to drive innovation than in how we connect as people within a company. Barry has made it his mission to extend humble leadership, a listening ear, and a helping hand to all those he is responsible for. As a firm believer in mentorship at every level of an organization, Barry is here to spread his wisdom to us today.
