Can two CEOs really lead one of the most complex nonprofits in the country?
In this episode of Lead for Good, Chris Looney sits down with Steve Delgado, Co-CEO of Homeboy Industries, the largest gang intervention and re-entry organization in the world.
With 10,000 people walking through their doors each year, 16 social enterprises, 300 staff members, and a powerful mission rooted in radical kinship, Homeboy Industries is no small operation. Yet instead of one executive at the top, they chose a shared leadership model.
In this conversation, you will discover:
Why Homeboy adopted the co-CEO structure as part of intentional succession planning
How shared leadership actually works in a large, complex organization
The role of humility, patience, and trust in co-leadership
Why values alignment is the foundation of independent decision-making
How the model strengthens fundraising through a blend of soul and strategy
What boards must consider before embracing a co-CEO structure
Why Steve believes the nonprofit sector may see a major shift in executive leadership models over the next five years
One of the most compelling takeaways? Scaling love and tenderness is at the heart of Homeboy’s next strategic vision.
If you are a nonprofit executive, board member, or emerging leader navigating complexity, growth, or succession planning, this episode will challenge the way you think about the CEO role.
