When my son-in-law returned from a 2 year mission stint in Siberia, his only request for dinner was Chick-Fil-A.

Jeff, thanks for your inspiration and insight! I heard Dan Cathy speak at the Maximum Impact Event last year and this comment stood out. “There are 2 models for business: Meeting Expectations & Exceeding Expectations. The 1st model is about a transaction and your head while the 2nd model is about a relationship and your heart.” Chick-fil-A and NorthPoint are GREAT examples of this 2nd model and it just proves that “going against the mainstream” can work! It is of no coincidence that several CF leaders and others alike combined with several NorthPoint members are all actively involved with a awesome men’s ministry called Souly Business (http://www.soulybusiness.org).

It’s funny how my wife always craves Chick-Fil-A on sundays. It serves as a subtle reminder of one’s priorities.

What I really appreciate about North Point is how the leaders empower / motivate their teams. When I first started at NP, David McDaniel showed me how to do some productive work. Several days later at a team meeting, he gave me all the credit… with coming up with the idea that he had actually shown me. He was simply helping me get started.

I actually blogged recently about the differences between a local Chickfila and another ff restaurant. The Rowlett, TX Chickfla is a great place that my kids love. Every time they have a choice as to where we eat they say, “Chick-i-la”.

We are always greeted warmly and any request is responded to with the phrase “my pleasure”. The manager knows my kids by name and we are now regulars at the store. We drive past a dozen restaurants, some even have dollar menus, just to get to Chickfila.

I worked at a Chick-Fil-A Dwarf House while in high school. They really do attract (or select) great employees On lunch break I would eat “nugget sandwiches”.. chicken nuggets in between waffle-fries. It was far from the perfect job though, as I did not really enjoy going home every night covered in grease and chicken juices o_O
