>>>FIRST THOUGHTS
"Loyalty begins with trust. My policy has always been to select trustworthy people-then trust them!
"Several years ago I loaned money to a young man to pay for college. We agreed that he would pay back $250 a month until the obligation was fulfilled. I wasn't going to try to keep up with how much he paid or how much he owed. It was up to him to tell me when it was paid off. A person will live up to that kind of trust and set a high standard of honesty.
"Buck McCabe, Senior Vice President, Finance, described how he responds to that trust: 'Truett trusts me with so much that I feel a great responsibility to do my job right. I think others in the company feel the same way. It might be easier for us, and we might not work as hard, if Truett didn't entrust us with so much. He has put more responsibility on our shoulders." (From: Eat Mor Chikin®, Inspire More People, by S. Truett Cathy, founder of Chick-fil-A.)
