How is Bob Garrett and his Leadership Program different than other Operators?
Bob's motto is “hire trustworthy people, then trust them.” -S. Truett Cathy. Bob runs his business by selecting top talent and then entrusting, empowering, and equipping them to perform with real responsibility. During leadership meetings, Bob helps his team identify goals. He then empowers his directors by giving them 100 percent freedom to pursue and create their own vision. From Operators to Senior Business Consultants, Bob goal is to equip each of them to make an impact wherever they are. He has created an environment that allows leaders to see the innermost workings of a Chick-fil-A Franchise. Store Directors will be allowed to make their own decisions and learn their own unique leadership styles. This level of leader development challenges everyone to never become stagnant or satisfied with mediocrity.
