YouTube Video Interview

Today's Marketplace is ridiculously competitive, wrought with uncertainty, and steeped in pressure. Culture would have us believe that success comes from being driven and driving our teams hard. The trouble is, too many companies are driving their teams … right into the ground. How can people of faith lead well and honor their Christian values while also remaining competitive?

If you ask today's guest, the Vice President of Talent for Chick-fil-A, Dee Ann Turner, she would start by explaining the importance of stewarding your talent well. Under her leadership, Chick-fil-A has enjoyed industry-leading employee engagement scores and become known for selecting the best talent in the hospitality business. Dee Ann is also the author of two best-selling books covering corporate culture and career success. Bet on talent teaches leaders how to find and keep extraordinary talent. And her latest book, Crush Your Career, teaches talent how to be extraordinary. She has also mentored and championed hundreds of people to discover their unique vocational callings and build careers they love!

From the ripe old age of seven, Dee Ann planned to go into a life of full-time Christian service. Today, we discuss how she fulfilled that commitment in the Marketplace through helping other people find their calling and how working under Truett Cathy taught her about creating a positive workplace culture and being a good steward of resources AND people.

Resources for you from today's show:

The most life-changing habit that has impacted Dee Ann's leadership is starting her day with at least a full hour of Bible reading, prayer, and exercise. In the morning, she turns to resources, including her Bible, the First Five app from Proverbs 31 Ministries, the YouVersion Bible app, as well as Michael Hyatt's Full Focus Planner.  Dee Ann will also be speaking at the Boldly Conference on Friday, October 8, 2021, on the topic of "Creating a Culture of Care."
