McDonald joined Procter & Gamble in 1980. [5] He served as a brand manager for Tide from 1984–1986. In 1989 he transferred to Toronto to lead P&G's Canadian Laundry business, and moved to the Philippines as General Manager in 1991. In 1995 he became Vice President, Laundry & Cleaning Products Asia, and relocated to Japan. A year later in 1996, McDonald became President, Japan Operations, and in 1999, President, Northeast Asia. Two years later he moved to Brussels as President, Global Fabric Care and later President, Global Fabric & Home Care. He was appointed Vice Chairman, Global Operations in 2004 and appointed Chief Operating Officer in July 2007. McDonald became President and Chief Executive on July 1, 2009. [6] He assumed the Chairman of the Board role January 1, 2010.
During his tenure, investors criticized McDonald for being too loyal to P&G traditions, being too slow to pursue layoffs and other cuts, and being unable to produce new product innovations, particularly compared to his predecessor and replacement A.G. Lafley. [7] He resigned from P&G on June 30, 2013, following pressure from the company board and activist investors such as Bill Ackman; he was replaced by his predecessor A.G. Lafley, who returned from retirement. [8] [9] [10]
Under McDonald's leadership, Procter & Gamble grew organic sales by an average of about 3% per year with core earnings per share up an average of about 4% and expanded its marketing footprint by adding nearly one billion people to its global customer base [11].
Procter & Gamble company stock price rose from $51.10 to $78.80 during his tenure as CEO – a 60 percent increase from 2009 to 2013 [12] a 50% increase, trailing the 80% in the S&P 500 in the same period [13].
McDonald’s leadership style resulted in recognition for Procter & Gamble by both Chief Executive Magazine [14] and The Hay Group [15] as one of the best companies for leadership.
McDonald is on the boards of the following organizations:
Board member | RallyPoint [16] |
Board member | Quotient Technology [17] |
Board member | Partnership for Public Service [18] |

Since the beginning of his term as Secretary of VA in August of 2014, McDonald replaced 14 of the top 17 leaders [1]. McDonald’s predecessor at the VA, Eric Shinseki, fired 2,247 people during fiscal year 2013 [2] which was slightly higher than the rate of VA employees that had left or were terminated by McDonald as of February 20, 2015 [3].
In 2016 McDonald sought more stringent firing rules under a massive Veterans reform proposal and received support for Senator Johnny Isaksen of Georgia who stated that in regards to VA employees he wanted McDonald to “hold them accountable” [4].
On November 6, 2014, McDonald was quoted as saying “changing culture is one of the most important things a leader can do” in reference to visiting 41 different VA facilities to evaluate needed areas of change that included one facility in Phoenix, AZ whose wait times had already been decrease by 37% [5].

"McDonald replaced 14 of 17 leaders... McDonalds predecessor at the VA, Skinseki, fired 2,247..."this is clearly info for the VA article.
"In 2016 McDonald sought more stringent firing rules"To "seek" something is an amorphous act, as things can be sought physically, emotionally, mentally, etc. A student who seeks to succeed on a test may study hard, they may read a bit more, or they may psychologically prepare themselves for the task of test taking. In other words, that McDonald "sought more stringent firing rules" says nothing about what was done about those firing rules. Likewise, Senator Isaksen's "support" of McDonald is equally amorphous, as that support could really mean anything. Indeed, the source says "A massive veterans reform measure including new employment rules for senior officials and an overhaul of outside care programs could be on the Senate floor early next month". The word could describes something that hasn't happened yet.
"On November 6, 2014, McDonald was quoted..."Quotes from McDonald are not really the purpose of the article, per WP:NOTQUOTE.

The section seems a bit out of place, and some things feel like they don't really belong in the article because of due weight, and also guidelines on criticism in biographies. The length of this is about as long as an entire 30 year career span, yet it covers three specific items within two years. They don't seem to add anything much encyclopedic to the article, and having not been familiar with the topic of this biography at large, they seem out of place.
Anyone have thoughts?
Remove: On a February 15, 2015 airing of Meet the Press, McDonald stated that 60 Veterans Affairs employees had been fired because of the VA's wait time scandal. Later, he backtracked and clarified it was only eight employees that lost their jobs.[23]
Remove an extended quote from "Huffington Post" which does not seem helpful to this article for due weight.
The Huffington Post reported that "special operations forces" includes the Army Rangers and that McDonald "completed Army Ranger training and took courses in jungle, arctic and desert warfare. He qualified as a senior parachutist and airborne jumpmaster, and was assigned to the 82nd Airborne Division until he resigned his commission in 1980. While he earned a Ranger tab designating him as a graduate of Ranger School, he never served in a Ranger battalion or any other special operations unit.[23]"
Remove A comment about Disney wait times seems trivial in due weight:
On May 23, 2016, Secretary McDonald stated that Disney does not measure wait times at its amusement parks, arguing that VA wait times are not an important measure. This statement was viewed as both insensitive to patients and incorrect, as Disney does measure wait times.[25] Speaker of the House Paul Ryan criticized McDonald's comments on Twitter and in a blog post, saying, "This is not make-believe, Mr. Secretary. Veterans have died waiting in those lines."[26] He apologized the next day.[27]

In 2014 McDonald led a community-based task force [1] to help the city of Cincinnati renovate its Museum Center [2] and Music Hall [3]. He helped to craft a tax levy proposal [4] that passed [5] for the renovation of the buildings. Tsmith47 ( talk) 18:48, 21 June 2019 (UTC)
References
Drafting tax levy proposals is complicated work which when performed by government attorneys is usually done by staffers brought in to craft the language and phrasing of the tax levy, including research on background information and financial figures. My only remaining question would be whether or not the subject was paid or enumerated in any way for his leadership role in directing and/or consulting with this task force on these activities. It would be highly unusual if the subject performed this consultation work on his own pro bono, a fact which should be noted in the text if that were the case. The claim should also briefly mention what the tax levy was placed on. Regards, Spintendo 17:54, 26 June 2019 (UTC)

Marking the distinction between the act of completing training for the Army Rangers as opposed to serving in a Ranger battalion is helpful for those readers who may confuse the distinction between those two states of affairs.

I am proposing that the content below be added as a new sub-section titled MyVA to the U.S. Secretary of Veterans Affairs main section:
In 2015, McDonald implemented the MyVA initiative [1] that improved the areas of Veteran service [2], the employee experience [3], internal support services [4], strategic partnerships [5], and organizational culture through the streamlining of processes and services.
Results of McDonald’s MyVA initiative included a 90 percent reduction in the backlog of Veteran disability claims [6], a nearly 50 percent reduction in Veteran homelessness and a functional end to Veteran homelessness in 34 communities [7], 75% of Veterans reported receiving the care and services they needed [8]; and 97 percent of Veteran appointments were scheduled within 30 days, 92 percent within 14 days, 87 percent within 7 days, and 23 percent the same day [9]. In 2019, a study conducted by the Journal of the American Medical Association found improved wait times at VA between 2014 and 2017, and that they were equal to or better than those found in the private sector [10].

A review of this article shows that it is quite long and several items included may violate the WP:NOTEVERYTHING, WP:DUE and WP:NPOV requirements. The article includes large sections of resume-like material and is ripe for an edit reducing its content substantially. I suggest interested editors take a look and make appropriate edits to make the article more in line with the Wikipedia encyclopedic standards for WP:BLP articles. Without such a review, the article risks cuts. Go4thProsper ( talk) 19:52, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
