Lessons from Leaders: Featured Guest John Stephens, CEO of The BOMA Project

This week I sit with John Stephens who is the CEO of The BOMA Project. John brings a unique leadership lens to his position with BOMA because he has served as a board member, a position for an organization that was funding BOMA, and then interim CEO. From each role, John was able to grow his view of how to best service the organization. “It helped me launch, having those close relationships with board members. I knew what was important to them. I knew how the board functioned. I think often times, new CEO’s get overly focused on the organization and programs. They tend to not think about the board as a vital organ of the organization, giving it the attention it deserves.”What is quite eye opening in this episode is John’s ability to merge his three lenses to give insight, advice, and feedback that, used properly, can strengthen an organization, their board, and their staff’s relationships. Thank you John for giving our listeners a new perspective and helpful action steps to build bonds and strengthen teams. https://youtu.be/jyZcbUU3Iq8
