In this week’s “50 CEO’s on the D: Detroit Renaissance Reports,” Doug Rothwell speaks with Dave Boyle, President of National City Bank of Michigan.

Boyle speaks about the tough choices that public and private partnerships must face in order for them to grow individually. He notes that additionally, in order for change to happen, there needs to be structural reform first.

“Dave’s honesty and ideas are just the type of traits we need in order to keep moving forward,” said Detroit Renaissance’s President Doug Rothwell, who also serves as the show’s host, “It’s about leadership and looking for ways to reduce redundancy. Dave’s ideas could be a bit controversial, but they’re the brutal truth.”

Boyle’s transformational way of thinking reminds Detroit residents that there will have to be change over time in order for there to be growth later, and it is not the type of thing that can happen overnight.
