Lead for Good: A Conversation with Art Groenveld - Episode 25

What does it really look like to build culture from the inside out? In this episode of Lead for Good, Chris Looney sits down with Art Groeneveld, CEO of Boys and Girls Clubs of Huntington Valley, for a candid and practical conversation about culture, values, and leadership evolution. After navigating the challenges of COVID, staff transitions, and organizational growth, Art and his management team developed a new values framework designed to align 300 employees around a shared cultural foundation. Rather than imposing a top down mandate, the values emerged from the team itself and are now being rolled out across the organization through leadership exercises and hands on engagement. Art shares: • His unexpected journey into nonprofit leadership • How his leadership style evolved from command and control to empowerment • The four cultural pillars guiding BGCHV • Why individual values must connect to organizational values • How culture shapes hiring, retention, donor relationships, and conflict resolution • Why “Culture eats strategy” is more than a cliché • What it takes to sustain momentum after a values rollout BGCHV’s four pillars include youth safety and well being, employee value and support, financial stewardship, and donor and community partnerships. Their core values include humility, exceptionality, passion, trust, and legacy. This episode is a masterclass in practical culture building for nonprofit leaders who want to strengthen teams, increase retention, and create lasting impact.
