Paul Sweeney
Paul Sweeney is an author, strategist and former FTSE 100 chief strategy officer. His book, Magnetic Nonsense: A Short History of Bullshit at Work and How to Make It Go Away, examines why organisations spend so much time and money on leadership models, values, engagement surveys, wellbeing initiatives and transformation programmes without asking whether any of them work.
He now helps CEOs improve performance by removing organisational nonsense, simplifying structures and uncovering the talent their systems overlook. Paul’s career began in an airline lost-luggage department – an unusually useful education in how organisations really work – and has since taken him through operational leadership, consulting, London Business School and the executive suite.
