Jimmy Pool’s Positive Impact at Collins Aerospace

At FBG, we believe that leadership isn’t just about titles, it’s about character, consistency and the ability to inspire others. And at Collins Aerospace Systems in Pueblo, Colorado, that kind of leadership has a name: Jimmy Pool.

We recently received a powerful message from Clayton Lea at Collins Aerospace, sharing just how transformational Jimmy’s leadership has been. After stepping into the role of site leader for FBG, Jimmy quickly proved that trust, respect and a hands-on approach are the foundation of high-performing teams.

“Jimmy has truly blown us all away here at the plant with his tactile skills and positive, productive personality that rubs off on everyone he comes in contact with,” Clayton shared. “He leads by example and not so much by commands.”

From day one, Jimmy has made it a point to work alongside his team, getting into the trenches, polishing floors and checking in regularly with department managers to ensure nothing is overlooked. His attention to detail and people-first approach have had a ripple effect across the facility. Employees are taking pride in their work, production has improved and the standard of cleanliness has been elevated to new heights.

“Every single employee has upped their game, and it is because Jimmy leads by example. He’s not afraid to earn their respect.”

Clayton goes on to say that Jimmy has exceeded expectations and is forging his own legacy, building upon the foundation laid by a former supervisor and continuing FBG’s tradition of excellence.

“Jimmy is quickly forging his own legacy as one of the absolute greats that I have been blessed to have work for me. He makes my job that much easier.”

We’re honored to have leaders like Jimmy representing FBG, and even more grateful to work with partners like Collins Aerospace who recognize and value the difference true leadership can make. To Jimmy and the entire Pueblo team, thank you. Your dedication, professionalism and teamwork are what make FBG a trusted partner across industries.

And to Clayton, thank you for your kind words and continued partnership. We’re looking forward to a bright future together.
