    About this audiobook

    In the tradition of the bestselling book The One Minute Manager, authors Ken Blanchard and S. Truett Cathy, entrepreneur and founder of Chick-Fil-A restaurants, present The Generosity Factor--a parable that demonstrates the virtues of generosity.

    It's the story of a meeting between the Broker--a young man on his way up the corporate ladder who has the illusion of success, yet deep inside feels insignificant--and the Executive--the CEO of a very large and successful company who claims the greatest joy in his life is his ability to give to others.

    Thinking he might get a competitive edge by meeting with the Executive, the Broker's worldview is turned upside down as he talks to the Executive and hears the principles that form his life. He calls it The Generosity Factor--a way to give time, talent, treasure, and touch to those in need. Providing a unique twist on what it means to thrive in business, at home, and in life, this story will forever change your definition of success.

    • 5/5
      This book helped me to narrow down my choices in terms of what business niche I want to specialize in. I have a lot of great ideas, but I realized I needed to narrow it down or else I will be all over the place and not succeed in any. I have read several other books by Alex, and he is a very clear and concise teacher. I love his books, and this one is no exception. Highly recommended.
