S.M.G. CONSTRUCTION/MILLWORK kitchens, vanities, walk-in closets, and built-in entertainment units. Meanwhile S.M.G. Construction, Ginns’ other company, has been responsible for building and/or renovating high-end, custom homes in Lyford Cay, Old Fort Bay, Albany, and the Ocean Club Estates. The company has also completed several commercial projects—including a state of the art laundry for the Baha Mar project, an equestrian estate, the Mahogany House Restaurant, and Old Fort Plaza. In 2015, Business View Magazine spoke with Ginns several months after a large fire had destroyed the entire mill- work building and its offices.

Therefore, Ginns states, “It is essential to understand the re- lationship between this orga- nizational culture and leader- ship behavior to strive for the greatest satisfaction of both employees and customers.” After much research and passion in expanding his knowledge regarding lead- ership values, Ginns came to the conclusion that “when good leadership is in place in a company, it can be felt throughout the entire organi- zation.With good leadership, corporate culture isn’t forced, it’s developed.Working with the upper management, the foremen, and our staff, we’ve been able to focus on suitable leadership for every individual and the progress of creating a vision through which we have begun to see beneficial chang- es within our business.” In an effort to continue these values, Ginns hired Kenny Cargill, a Motivational Leadership Director.With his background in business, as well as public relations, Kenny was brought on as C.O.O.
