What if you had the opportunity to take some one on one basketball lessons from Michael Jordan, or some vocal performance lessons from Adele, or quarterback camp with Tom Brady, or acting lessons from Meryl Streep?  Incredible right?! 

That's what it felt like to sit with my friend Tim Tassopoulos, retired President & Chief Operating Officer at Chick-fil-A, Inc.  

In a 46 year career that spanned 6 different decades and countless innovations, challenges, awards, and changes in the industry and company, Tim left a legacy of faithful stewardship of the leadership responsibilities he was offered that is characterized as humble, strong, confident, resolute, and loving.  

In this 2 part series, Tim shares leadership lessons he's learned from his career and his relationship with Founder, Truett Cathy, his predecessor, Jimmy Collins, & his former Operator and first boss, Gary Bettis - while working with and collaborating with some incredible leaders along the way.  

Get out a notebook because we are about to get a Masterclass in leadership from the best leader I have ever personally known.
