Abstract: A personal interview with Truett Cathy reveals three underlying principles that collectively form a frame of reference which guides the decision-making of this successful leader of Chick-fil-A. These three principles are: Golden rule philosophy, a remarkable work ethic, and consistent convictions. These principles are inherent in the organization’s stated corporate purpose: To glorify God by being a faithful steward of all that is entrusted to us. To have a positive influence on all who come in contact with Chick-fil-A.
