“Frank, someday you are going to be held accountable for the influence and impact this company has for good, for God, and for growth.”
The Transformation Factor is the story of a leader, just 38, who was thrust into the “top spot” on what is now a $5 billion dollar-a-year company. Assuming that role as the fourth generation CEO, the question above was his wake-up-call from God? Frank writes:
I understood accountability for myself and my own life before God, and I understood accountability before our shareholders for the growth, health, and value of the business. But accountability before God for the influence and impact of our company? Well, I wasn’t sure what to do with that. Today, I refer to this as my wake-up call at Coca-Cola Consolidated.
As Frank recounts his story and share leadership lessons — always with a story — he points out how God shaped him as a leader and lays down a foundation for leaders concerned about the work today, but also their legacy tomorrow.
