]]> Comment on Why join two boards? Why leave one? Thoughts from the CEO of Respironics by ROBERT PINI http://noelevatortothetop.com/2008/09/15/why-join-two-boards-why-leave-one-thoughts-from-the-ceo-of-respironics/#comment-36 ROBERT PINI Tue, 23 Sep 2008 14:30:30 +0000 http://noelevator.wordpress.com/?p=74#comment-36 Dear Umesh: It seems to me that many of these CEOs that are profiled on the blog are involved with boards similar to their own backgrounds. As a corporate communications executive at a media company, what I think can truly benefit a CEO today is to become a board member of an Arts or Non-Profit Organization. Beyond the obvious reaching beyond your comfort zone -- the benefits are quite impressive in practical as well as spiritual terms. As corporations devote more resources to sustainability programs, diversity efforts and community-based projects, it would behoove CEOs today to broaden their interests. A position at one of these organizations can expand and test their managerial and strategic skills while at the same time instill civic pride within themselves and perhaps spur new ideas at their own companies. I would recommend that you explore this idea on how a CEO can benefit and learn from the non-profit sector particularly on the Arts front. Thank you for sending me the blog -- it was quite insightful. Regards, Robert Pini Robert L. Pini Senior Vice President. Corporate Communications New Line Cinema Dear Umesh:
