John J. Perry
2018 MEECO International Thought Leader of Distinction
A Hidden Figure
Episode Summary
Have you seen the movie “Hidden Figures?” In this episode I interview the 2018 MEECO International Thought Leader of Distinction. I planned the episode to discuss the designation he earned but then the conversation took a different turn. We had a riveting discussion about John Perry’s role at NASA during the 1960’s and his later work in leadership development where he helps people recall and honor their yesterdays, reveal and understand their today, and believe in and get excited about the promise of their tomorrows.
Bio
John J. Perry, Founder and President, Human Productivity Systems, Inc., is an organization and leadership development consultant. He developed the Job-Person-Environment Assessment™ (JPEA™) as his primary diagnostic tool. The results, which are based on individuals’ key work-related perceptions and preferences, reveal the amount of “energy” they expend during a “typical” day at work. The aggregate JPEA™ results reveal an organization’s “health.”
John has a BS in Mathematics from Florida A&M University and an MBA in Management Decision Systems from University of Southern California. Prior to starting his consulting career in 1982, he was employed for over 22 years by the NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in several disciplines, including aeronautical research engineering, functional and project management, financial management, and management systems consulting.
