CFC Blog #219: Stewardship vs Monetization
I remember years ago Pip and Brynne had me consider/brainstorm what easy-on and easy-off ramps might look like for community members' involvement in businesses or organizations. While listing a plethora of these easy on/off ramps, I then remember thinking about the importance and also the impact of keeping freedoms in place for the customer, and how just having that freedom affects the relationship as well as customer turn-over. JP discusses these notions in the podcast linked below... and challenges me to think about what becoming a steward of relationships really entails. He also inspires me to think about the significance of building society and humanity for resilience, especially amidst the unpredictable times we are living in currently. I personally think the global pandemic has been an eye-opener for myself and perhaps many business leaders and employees to more deeply ponder the value of having and nurturing trusting relationships in the workplace and how just realizing these relationships are an asset is a stewarding function. I hope you enjoy listening to JP's insights, as well as personal stories and interesting connections to his own life!
Thank you, JP, Brynne, and Pip for putting this together!
