[QUOTE="steeltoe, post: 757081, member: 9491"] For those that grew up in Georgia, there is no better CEO than Truett Cathy of Chick-fil-A. For those who do not have Chick-fil-A in your state, you will at some point. They are privately held and will always remain that way. People that eat at their stores know that the customer service is by far the best in the industry. Their stores are the cleanest in the industry and all of their people respect the customer and each other. Mr. Cathy is the most giving man I have ever met in my life. His gift is not just monetary. If I am not mistaken, he has 13 foster homes. The foster parents have one job. Raise children. Neither foster parent has a regular job at any of the homes. Their jobs are to raise children. Mr. Cathy does not just cut a check. All the foster children refer to him as their grandfather and he is involved. I am not sure of the exact numbers, but from what I understand, over 90% of all his foster children over the years have graduated from college paid for by Mr. Cathy. That number might be higher. I hear stories of this mans philanthropy all the time. Once, while at the barber shop and talking to the barber during my haircut, Mr. Cathy came up in our discussion. My Barber, who is in his 60's told me that he attended a local Military Academy. My barber's father suddenly died the summer of his junior year. His mother had nothing to pay for her son's senior year. My baber told me that Mr. Cathy heard about this young mans financiial problem and cut a check for the young mans senior year, having only to go by what was told by the leaders at the school. heck, that was 50 years ago. I encourage everyone to do some research about this great man. You will be amazed. Their corporate headquarters has over 800 employee's and they carry a turnover rate of less than 5% over 40 years. Most of that number are women who start to have children and leave the workforce. [/QUOTE]
