In this episode of Drive Thru HR, we speak with Patrick Farran, executive advisor and co-founder/CEO of Ad Lucem Group, about purpose-driven

leadership and his new book "The Intentional Executive."

Patrick, Michael and Robin discuss how effective leaders stay grounded in purpose by ensuring their values show up in their toughest decisions, budgets, and calendars (not just on company walls!!) and Patrick shares real-world examples of leaders who held firm to their principles even at significant cost. The conversation covers practical strategies for leadership transformation, including the importance of resisting the urge to be "the answer person," structuring time intentionally around strategic relationships, and starting meetings with purpose-centered

connection.

Patrick's book, co-authored with Melissa Norcross, distills decades of practitioner experience into a playbook designed to help leaders navigate disruption and lead differently than everyone else.
