organization stand FOR. Over the next number of weeks we are going
to journey through Jeff Henderson’s book – Know What You’re FOR: A
Growth Strategy for Work, An Even Better Strategy for Life.. As
Jeff states, “instead of trying to convince customers to become
fans of the business, thriving businesses of the future will become
fans of their customers. Because endearing actions create enduring
companies.”
This study will help you uncover simple yet powerful growth
strategies for business leaders, change advocates, and movement
makers, because when we change the way our work grows, we can
change the world.

PROLOGUE Jeff writes:
Truett was more interested in the business of growing people than
he was in people growing the business. And that is exactly how his
business grew.
How is this approach different than most businesses today?
What is your business really for?
How does he propose you can make a profit and improve the
world?
You do this by being FOR people. You do this by helping people move
closer to their potential. To be more FOR them than you are FOR
yourself.
Do an assessment: (Scale 1 lowest – 5 highest) How would you rate
yourself:
FOR the Customer 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 FOR the Team 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5
FOR the Community 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5 FOR You 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 – 5

SECTION 1 | FOR THE CUSTOMER Chapter 1 | IF A BUSINESS WAS A PERSON
Is your business focused on itself or your customers?
How are you trying to win the heart of your customer?
A QUESTION YOUR CUSTOMER IS ASKING ABOUT YOU Ritz-Carlton: Horst
Schulze
What was the one question that created a first-class
organization?
How did the employees tackle the question “how do we get their
names within 30 seconds of their arrival?”
When you have received this kind of treatment, how did you feel?
And respond?

WHAT CAUSES A BUSINESS TO GROW? We must learn to care more for the
customer than we care for the business.
Justin Bieber & Mama Jan
Three Causes for Growth:
1. When our focus is on growing people, people grow the
business.
2. When we think more about how the business can help and serve
people. The more people we will eventually help and serve.
3. When we think more about the customer than we do the business,
it is the best way we can think about the business.
Is the most important story in your business about you or your
customer?
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR

Chapter 2 | TWO QUESTIONS THAT CAUSE A BUSINESS TO GROW What are
the questions most often asked about how to grow a business?
TWO KEY QUESTIONS TO ASK 1. What do you want to be known FOR? Your
purpose
2. What are we known FOR? Their experience
The Gap: When these two questions don’t match.
The Goal: Progressively shrink the gap
Are you clear about what you want to be known for?
Purpose infuses their culture in a way that product, price, place
and promotion never could.
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR
- 8 -© 2021
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR? Discuss how the stories of the
Gwinnett Church and Zappos focused on their why.
How can you apply this to your life/business?
• When the purpose lives in the organization, the organization
lives in purpose.
WHAT ARE YOU KNOWN FOR? What do you want to be known for? Is the
brand promise.
What are we known for?
This reveals how you are delivering on that promise.
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR

APPLICATION: Closing The Gap What steps will you take to find
out:
Is your purpose clear with your team?
Is your performance with your customers match your promise?
Read Chapters 3 & 4 for the next meeting.

Chapter 3 | KEEP THE MAIN THING – THE MAIN THING What are you (your
company) known for?
Where did IHOP go wrong in their approach?
When you are known for one thing but talk about being known for
something else, you lose an important value to your brand:
CREDIBILITY
Thinking back, can you share an example where you could have or did
lose credibility with your market/clients?
What have you done that gained you credibility with your
market/clients?
“INSIDER-ITIS is a malady afflicting the vision of organizations by
focusing on insider issues over outsider issues.”
How do you think your organization is currently suffering from
insider-itis in anyway? Explain your answer.

When is the last time you’ve taken a look at your business, systems
and processes from the customers perspective?
What did you discover?
“What makes Pixar special is that we acknowledge we will always
have problems, many of them hidden from our view, that we work hard
to uncover these problems,
even if doing so means making ourselves uncomfortable; and that,
when we come across a problem, we marshal all of our energies to
solve it.”
- Ed Catmull – President of Pixar and Disney Animation
FOUR STRATEGIES FOR THE MAIN THING 1. What You See
Visually showing the vision and creating a literal touchpoint is a
powerful way to keep the main thing the main thing.
What are you doing in your organization to “keep the vision
visible?”
2. What You Celebrate
Thinking back on the Chick-fil-A story and the highest percentage
giver stories, how did this challenge you?
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR
- 12 -© 2021
What are the stories you can tell?
3. Where You Meet
When was the last time you got out of the office to be “up close
and personal” enough with your clients to see and hear real-time
problems?
4. What You Talk
In your meetings, talk as much about the customer as you talk about
the organization.
Are you doing what you need to do to effectively help the person
you are trying to serve? Explain?
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR

Chapter 4 | BECOME A FAN From Chick-fil-A’s perspective, a raving
fan is someone who does three things:
• Pays Full Price • Visits More Often • Tells Others About The
Business
Winning organizations of tomorrow will be more concerned with
becoming fans of their customers instead of convincing customers to
become fans of the organization.
APPLICATION How can you and your organization adopt this new way to
view your business and start becoming fans of your
clients/customers?
Are there one or two clear gaps you can close immediately?
Be prepared to share with the group in our next session.
(Possible secondary application exercise - page 61-62 – team
meeting)

Chapter 5 | CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT IS THE NEW CUSTOMER SERVICE What
are you currently doing with social media?
Realize:
Customer service is reactive.
Customer engagement is proactive.
THE LAND OF CUSTOMER ENGAGEMENT What has to change for you to
increase customer engagement?
How can you move through the “Invisible barrier” with your
customer?
The invisible barrier is when companies stay exclusively on their
own social media platforms, never venturing onto the platforms of
their customers.
What can you learn from the Home Depot story?
SMALL AND SCRAPPY How does Jeff define being small and
scrappy?

Discuss Eryn Eddy’s evolution of So Worth Loving for building a
community before she built her business.
How was her approach different from other start up
businesses?
SCALING MEANINGFUL How are you creating meaningful connections with
your business community?
At the core of the four strategy is a theory suggesting that brands
and organizations, churches included, need to stop talking about
themselves so much. Instead, they need to
start talking more about the customers and the community. Shift the
focus from the business to the customer.
The question your customer is asking isn’t, “Is this a good
product?”
The question they are asking is, “Does this brand care about us and
me?”
Customer engagement proactively says: • We see you. • We celebrate
you. • We are here for you.
If you were to call five of your customers, would they indicate
this is their experience doing business with you?

Chapter 6 | SMALL IS THE NEW BIG How do you know if someone needs
encouragement?
What is Truett Cathy’s signal to know someone needs
encouragement?
What can you do for your customers that would encourage them?
Too many companies compete on price, while encouragement is
priceless.
The key truth about encouragement: encouragement is never small
when you’re on the receiving end of it.
What could change in your company if everyone was intentional about
encouraging your customers?
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR

GROWING SMALL Why is it when a small company that becomes a large
company loses the personal touch with their customers?
How does Dan Cathy intentionally connect with customers when a new
store is opened?
What did this communicate to the customers?
Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone. – Andy
Stanley
What is the power of one when you make a difference in one
life?
Thriving businesses of the future will start seeing customers as
friends.
What can you be doing this week to help move from just having
customers to having friends?

Chapter 7 | THE SOCIAL LOOP What can you learn and apply in your
organization from Johnnyswim?
The pathway to creating fans is becoming a fan.
Thinking back on how you’ve done busines in the past – have you
been successful at creating fans? Have you become a fan?
CHECKING THE OTHER BOX We all know word-of-mouth advertising is the
greatest form of advertising.
How successfully have you leveraged this in your
organization?
Can you share a success story with the group?
The Social Loop • The organization posts. • A follower responds. •
The organization does nothing.
Have you fallen into the “social loop” in your personal
experiences? Share an example.
What has this done for your impression of that organization?

FOUR SOCIAL MEDIA MISTAKES YOU CAN EASILY AVOID
Mistake #1: Treating Social Media as a Megaphone and not a
Telephone
How have you been creating real connections with your
customers?
Mistake #2: Believing That Content Management > Customer
Engagement
What kind of “game plan” have you put in place within your
organization to ensure you are personally engaging your
audience?
Mistake #3: Valuing Social Media over Email
Pull up the last email your organization sent – did it add value or
just provide information?
Mistake #4: Never Visiting Customers’ Social Media Platforms and
Interacting with Them There
Ask These Questions: • When’s the last time your organization liked
a post from one of your followers? • When’s the last time your
organization commented on a customer’s social media platform? •
What is an example of your organization reaching beyond its social
media platform and engaging with a customer? • What systems do you
have in place to ensure that your organization interacts with
customers on their social media platforms?

FOUR STRATEGIES FOR YOUR CUSTOMER
Strategy #1: Follow Your Followers
Which customer do you need to follow on your social media
platform?
Strategy #2: More Dialogue, Less Monologue
When will you create a system to leverage your customer feedback
and interaction?
I believe if you aren’t going to dialogue with customers on social
media, you should probably just stop posting.
Strategy #3: More Likes, Fewer Posts
Review your customer’s social media posts and like them.
Strategy #4: Talk More about the Customer, Less about the
Business
When will you create a system to leverage your customer feedback
and interaction?
“To be FOR your customer, we’re going to have to become a lot less
corporate and a lot more personable.”

SECTION 2 | FOR THE TEAM Chapter 8 | IN FAVOR OF “My favorite
definition of the word FOR is “to be in favor of”
• When you are in favor of, your standards rise. • When you are in
favor of, you believe more. • When you are in favor of, you are
others-focused.
What are your thoughts on the statement; “how the team is treated
is eventually how the customer is treated.” Explain your
answer.
APPLICATION: It’s time to create your game plan to comment and
interact more with your audience.
Come back next week with some ideas and suggestions.

Chapter 9 | DESIGNING A FOR CULTURE How would your employees answer
the question: What does it feel like to work here?
How would your customers answer the question: What does it feel
like to do business with your company?
Your culture is created by default or by design.
If an outsider would walk through your company’s hallways and
listen to your employees, what would they discover about your
culture?
THE FOR FIVE STEP PROCESS (to be discussed in the next 5
chapters)
1. Believe abundantly
2. Appreciate Consistently
3. Develop Intentionally
4. Listen Actively
5. Live Repeatedly
- 24 -© 2021
Chapter 10 | WHERE INNOVATION LIVES…OR DIES Reflect on a coach or
teacher during your early years who had a significant impact on
your life. What was it about them that created this?
Chances are they said these words: “I believe in you!”
How would you respond to the words of David Farmer if you were an
employee of Chick- fil-A?
How did this set up an employee for success?
INNOVATION
• Believing abundantly fights off fear.
• Belief sparks innovation.
• Criticism sparks fear.

THE POWER OF THE HANDWRITTEN NOTE When Frank Blake took over
leadership at Home Depot he realized that the company had a morale
issue, not a product issue. How does this story impact you?
The reality is that a handwritten note will have a long-lasting
impact on the culture and the individual.
“When you exceed expectations of the team, they exceed the
expectations of the customer.” -Howard Schultz
FRANK BLAKE’S HANDWRITTEN NOTE SYSTEM 1. Develop a System That
Delivers Stories
Do you have a system in place to collect stories about what is
happening in your organization?
2. Put it on Your Calendar
3. Determine Your Goal
• Set yourself up for success • The more specific the better •
Highlight who they are, not just what they did

Chapter 12 | HOW TO HAVE BETTER MEETINGS Jeff states the meetings
are one of the largest, often hidden COSTS of any organization.
What are some ways to ensure your organization can become better at
meetings?
In reflecting on past meetings within your organization, have they
been informational or inspirational?
“It would be impossible to have a thriving organization without
some sort of gathering for com- munication, vision casting, and
clarity.”
How can you ensure in the future, you are being more
inspirational?

Will you commit to ensure this happens at your next team
meeting?
APPLICATION: Take some time this week to write and send 3-5
handwritten notes.

Chapter 13 | WHERE THE BEST IDEAS HIDE How easily does your team
provide feedback to you?
When the team knows you are FOR them, they will feel emboldened to
speak up and provide feedback.
TRUTH: Innovation often hides within the organization.
CHERYL BACHELDER, POPEYES Explain how the “tell me more” strategy
provided feedback to turn the company around.
What was the powerful lesson Cheryl discovered on her listening
tour?
How to Actively Listen:

Chapter 14 | A VISION WORTH WORKING FOR How does the story of
Boosterthon defy the stigma associated with Millennials?
What was the key to their success?
Chris is connected a practical and helpful mission (helping schools
raise money) with a huge vision (CTW).
Most organizations have a vision statement, so what makes Chris’s
approach so unique and powerful?
The power of us.
“Do you want to become a part of us, because we need you?”
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR
- 31 -© 2021
Would your present vision or purpose for your organization draw
people to it like Boosterthon?
If not why not?
MY PLEASURE Great Ideas:
• Great ideas elevate the mission. • Great ideas elevate the
purpose. • Great ideas elevate custoner interaction. • Great ideas
elevate the people on the team.
Repeating the vision gives a gift to your team – the gift of
purpose.
THE VISION QUESTION Ask daily:
• What did you do today to build your business?
• What did you do today to cast the vision for your
organization?
When the team answers these questions repeatedly, the vision lives
repeatedly.

SECTION 3 | FOR THE COMMUNITY Chapter 15 | GOOD FOR GOODNESS SAKE
One of Jeff’s opening statements in this chapter is:
The problem with many churches, nonprofits, and businesses is that
if they closed down tomor- row, the community around them wouldn’t
know it.
What are your thoughts on this statement?
How do you know if your organization’s purpose is flowing beyond
your four walls?
Do pricing and a great product matter? Absolutely, but so does
PURPOSE.

EXPANDING ORGANIZATIONAL IMPACT BEYOND THE CUSTOMER BASE When you
widen the circle of impact, it leads to a priceless, tangible
result every organization is secretly striving for – BRAND
LOYALTY.
Loyalty is how your organization makes people feel – giving them a
sense of PRIDE, APPRECIATION, and gratitude.
What is your organization doing that is noteworthy and good that
even noncustomers are talking about it?
If you can’t think of something, how can you enlist your team to
come up with a community FOR project?
When there is no COMPELLING purpose, the team hits the SNOOZE
button more often.
Brainstorm some ideas with the group to help get your team more
engaged.
We aren’t here to just sell stuff; we’re here to make a
DIFFERENCE.
How can you move beyond transactional relationships with your
community and build loyal relationships?
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR
- 35 -© 2021
Chapter 16 | THE PATHWAY TO BRAND LOYALTY The pathway to brand
loyalty leads through four mileposts:
1. BELONGING leads to buying
2. PURPOSE in the purchase
3. INFLUENCE beyond the business
4. IMPACT from the business
How is your company implementing these mileposts?
FOR: THE COMMUNITY If there isn’t a purpose bigger than the
business, the business won’t get any bigger.”
How is this counterintuitive to previous business models?
BELONGING LEADS TO BUYING Belonging is a fundamental HUMAN need
that is often overlooked and untapped by most organizations.
Creating a sense of BELONGING > getting someone to buy
something.
Discounting doesn’t grow margins like purpose does.
MASTERMIND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE FOR

Questions for you and the organization to think through:
• What PROBLEM is our organization trying to solve for the
community. • How are we making the COMMUNITY better? • Why should
the community care if our organization starts to STRUGGLE? • What
larger PURPOSE do customers or participants belong to when they
support our
organization? • What would we like to be KNOWN FOR in the
community? • What are we known FOR in the community? • Where are we
doing GOOD for goodness’ sake, no strings attached?
Pick one or two of the above to think into over the next week –
seek input from your team or co-workers.
Take notes and report your new awareness’s next week.
SEARCHING FOR A COMMUNITY TO BELONG What are some things you could
do this week to find out what your community leaders need help
with?
The LARGER you draw your circle of influence, the wider your
potential impact spreads.
How effectively are you communicating the purpose of your
organization to your team?
What are some ways you can work to re-engage or increase the
engagement of your team or co-workers to start living out not only
their purpose, but the organizations purpose?

BRANDS that can offer meaningful experiences of belonging and
becoming are going to keep GROWING.
A BASIC FEAR FOMO – the fear of missing out. Does our organization
have something to offer that’s worth belonging to?
THRIVING organizations understand how to transition people from
benefiting from the mission to PARTICIPATING in the mission.
If you had to evaluate your organization – are you thriving?
A customer base can be FICKLE; a community of believers is
LOYAL.

challenge you are facing with e-commerce?
What is the “Amazon Effect?”
How are you building a digital community for your
organization?
Key Question: How can you add value to a larger digital community,
including but not exclusive to our customers?
BUILDING A DIGITAL COMMUNITY 1. Listen to the community
What do you know about the community you are living or working

2. Talk with the community
Review the list of questions on page 194, what are some questions
you could be asking of your community?
The key point of these questions is they have nothing to do with
your business.
You need to see the community as people first and potential
customers second.
3. Celebrate the community
Winning brands of the future will be more concerned with becoming
fans of the customer in- stead of getting the customer to become
fans of the brand.
