Synopsis
Meet Fred. In his powerful new book THE FRED FACTOR, motivational speaker Mark Sanborn recounts the true story of Fred, the mail carrier who passionately loves his job and who genuinely cares about the people he serves. Because of that, he is constantly going the extra mile handling the mail - and sometimes watching over the houses - of the people on his route, treating everyone he meets as a friend. Where others might see delivering mail as monotonous drudgery, Fred sees an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those he serves. We've all encountered people like Fred in our lives. In THE FRED FACTOR, Mark Sanborn illuminates the simple steps each of us can take to transform our own lives from the ordinary - into the extraordinary. Sanborn, through stories about Fred and others like him, reveals the four basic principles that will help us bring fresh energy and creativity to our life and work: how to make a real difference everyday, how to become more successful by building strong relationships, how to create real value for others without spending a penny, and how to constantly reinvent yourself. By following these principles, and by learning from and teaching other "Freds," you, too, can excel in your career and make your life extraodinary. As Mark Sanborn makes clear, each of us has the potential be a Fred.THE FRED FACTOR shows you how., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Discover how an ordinary mail carrier's approach to life can teach you how to boost creativity, strengthen relationships, and make a real difference every day--now in an updated twentieth-anniversary edition. "[ The Fred Factor ] delivers a potent motivational message that will super-charge your attitude toward work and life. . . . You will never view yourself, your value to others, and your importance in the world in the same way again."--John Maxwell, from the foreword Meet Fred. No average USPS carrier, Fred seized the chance to find meaning in the mundane and endeavored to make his customers smile every day. After moving to Denver, Speaker Hall of Fame member Mark Sanborn got to know this kindhearted man and realized that Fred's outlook on life can be distilled into four basic principles that anyone can use to bring fresh energy and creativity to our work and life: * Everyone makes a difference * Success is built on relationships * You must continually create value for others, and it doesn't have to cost a penny * You can reinvent yourself regularly In this updated edition, Sanborn speaks to the seismic changes that have transformed the world of work in recent years--with employees increasingly hungry for purpose in their jobs--and outlines the book's fresh applications. Perfect for graduates, community leaders, or anyone looking to bring more kindness into the world, The Fred Factor is an inspiring guide to becoming your best self., NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - The true story of an ordinary mail carrier whose approach to work and life has the power to transform the everyday into the extraordinary--now in an updated twentieth-anniversary edition "This beloved business classic has inspired millions of people over the years, and today Mark Sanborn's transformative insights are more timely and necessary than ever."--Jon Gordon, author of The Energy Bus and co-author of The Coffee Bean Meet Fred. In this timeless and powerful book, Mark Sanborn, member of the Speaker Hall of Fame, recounts the true story of Fred, an ordinary USPS carrier who introduced himself one day shortly after Sanborn had moved to a new home in Denver. Fred, however, was no average mailman. As Sanborn came to discover, Fred was the kind of worker who exemplifies everything "right" with customer service. Did people want packages left on the porch or prefer a notice to pick them up at the post office? Fred made sure he knew the answer. When another delivery service left a package at the wrong house, Fred shepherded it safely to the intended recipient. Others might have seen delivering mail as routine work, but Fred seized the chance to find meaning in the mundane, competing with himself every day to find opportunities to make his customers smile. We've all encountered people like Fred. In this deeply inspiring book, Sanborn illuminates the four basic principles anyone can use to bring fresh energy and creativity to our work and life: how to make a tangible difference every day, build stronger relationships, create real value for others without spending a penny, and constantly reinvent yourself. In this updated edition, Sanborn speaks to the seismic changes that have transformed the world of work in recent years--with employees increasingly hungry for purpose in their jobs--and outlines the book's fresh applications. By following his principles, you, too, can find more excitement, fulfillment, and success in your career--and in your life.
