McKinley is one of the largest human services organizations in the region serving more than 7,000 people each year at 70+ program sites. Ada S.

Jamal leads a $40MM budget and over 500 staff. Jamal was hired by Chris and his team in 2014 to fill this important role. In this episode, Jamal discusses how his organization disrupts the common cycle that leads to disproportionate incarceration rates of minorities. He also discusses his journey to his position as a first-time CEO. One lesson he shares is that everything, big or small, that a CEO says and does reflects on the company. Do you agree or disagree?
