Modern integrity and character
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I bought this as part of a 3 book set while in one of the restaurants. That morning, a friend on facebook joking suggested that we open up a Chick-fil-a franchise in Canada. That afternoon, I was in a Chick-fil-a and noticed these books. I was supposed to buy them I thought and so I did. Here is a great story about how living your life with integrity and character is the only way to live. Even if you're running a business. In this day and age, it's easy to forget that there are incredible successful business people and CEOs who do care about their customers and also their employees. This was exactly what I needed to read as I start my own personal business. It's a pleasant reminder that living an honorable life spreads peace and happiness to all those around you. Again, it was incredible affirmation to know that how I have been living my life in the last 6 months is the "right " way. Thank you to S. Truett Cathy for sharing his stories and wisdom in an age where many of us have lost sight of what is truly important in life. Each other.

Truett Cathy has inspired me to be the best that I can be as a small business owner. He gives insight into the success of Chick Fil-A and shares principles and ideals that can be replicated. I'm inspired by his work ethic and his can-do attitude. I love the way he gets the right people on his team. I'm also a more informed Chick Fil-A consumer.
