Jimmy Greene is the President & CEO of Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC) of Michigan, a trade association representing Michigan’s commercial and industrial construction industries. He is the first Black CEO in the organization’s 60-year history. Jimmy is also the founder of Total Solutions Group in Saginaw, a firm specializing in technology project consulting and telecommunications. Before becoming the President of the ABC of Michigan, he served as president and CEO of Associated Builders & Contractors, Greater Michigan Chapter and the Greater Michigan Construction Academy.
Jimmy joins me to share his journey from a rocky childhood to becoming the first Black CEO of ABC of Michigan. He explains why he never wanted to be like his parents growing up and how a family tragedy became a turning point in his life, ultimately making him pursue greatness. He highlights why every contribution to your community is essential to at least one person. He discusses why leadership programs should be reviewed and why he believes there are too many leadership books. Jimmy also shares why he believes life is all about doorknobs and why your community is like a bank.
