Fred Smith urged, "Avoid the authors who are meringue chefs." Trust me, this book is a gourmet smorgasbord.
Scan the 52 chapter titles and the bios of the 52 contributors--and you're hooked. The management morsels are inspired. The leadership lessons are fresh and the spiritual insights are deep. This book is a keeper and would be a treasured gift for family, friends and donors.
Business leader Fred Smith Sr. used his mentoring gift and God-honoring wisdom to motivate and inspire some of the world's most influential people, often over breakfast. Each chapter in this brilliant little book delivers two pages of Smith savvy with a response by the likes of John Maxwell, Ken Blanchard, Philip Yancey, Zig Ziglar, Ruth Stafford Peale, Jill Briscoe, Jay Kesler and family members like Smith's son, Fred, president of The Gathering.
"Flying With the Eagles" (chapter 38), with a response from Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, includes this nugget from Smith. "So early in my business career, I chose six qualities that I wanted to build into my life and I asked individuals who personified each to give me an autographed picture. I framed these pictures, along with Hoffman's Head of Christ at 33 and a mirror. I hung them on the wall in a circle, with the head of Christ on the top, the mirror on the bottom and the others around. I could look at the pictures and at my reflection and determine whether I was growing in these qualities."
Fred Smith Sr. was welcomed into heaven on August 17, 2007. His wisdom remains.
(From quoting John W. Pearson, USA)
