Jimmy Collins.. former President and COO of Chick Fil A on Driven to Business
Jimmy Collins is an American success story if there ever was one. Starting life in a share cropper’s shack in Georgia, he rose through the business ranks to become president of one of the most successful companies in the world. Chick Fil A doesn’t just have customers, they have rabid fans, and Jimmy was a big part of that.
People starting from humble means doing well in business, while always interesting, isn’t all that unique to America. But Jimmy Collins’ perspectives on how and why it happened to him is.
Jimmy wrote a book about his career, called “In the Path of Greatness” or “Creative Followership“. His book is terrific, and should be required reading for executives and their staffs at every organization. But it’s the man behind the book that I find interesting. The premise of what Jimmy calls Creative Followership comes from a bible passage. Proverbs 27:18.. “He who tends the fig tree will eat its fruit, and he who cares for his master will be honored.”
Jimmy was the right hand man to Chick Fil A founder Truett Cathy, and his insights and advice for people at every level of their career is both inspiring and, in many ways, unexpected from a senior executive.
