Summary Of Mr Truett Cathy Chapter 1

697 Words | 3 Pages

My favorite line in this book came from chapter 5 and it reads, “Chick-fil-A is what it is today because of its product, people and purpose.” It takes much more than just serving great food to guests to make Chick-fil-A prosper. From this book I can take away that there is much more involved in leading than ordering people around. Mr. Cathy made sure to not order people around, but to ask people if they want to do something then ask if it’s a problem. From this book I can also take away that a good leader needs a good foundation.

I also did not have to try to explain the story to myself because the plot wa straightforward and it is the fifth book in the series.
