Know What You're For

A Growth Strategy for Work, an Even Better Strategy for Life

Narrated by: Jeff Henderson

Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

Your organization - business, church, or nonprofit - will experience unprecedented growth when you close the gap between these two game-changing questions: What are we known for? What do we want to be known for?

In Know What You're For, entrepreneur and thought leader Jeff Henderson makes it clear that if we want to change the world with our products or our mission, then we must shift the focus of our messaging and marketing. Rather than self-promoting, we must transform our organizations to be people-centric. This sounds like a no-brainer, but looking closer, shows just how little this is true and how impactful the change would be if it were. Whether you're a business leader, a change advocate, or a movement maker, Know What You're For will help you - and your organization - thrive.

It's what happens when you create an organization focused on who it is for. This is the future. Thriving organizations will be more concerned with becoming raving fans of their customers than they are trying to convince customers to become raving fans of the organization. This isn't theory. Jeff Henderson has experienced it.

Working with companies like Chick-fil-A and the Atlanta Braves, then serving as a pastor for 15 years at one of the country's largest and most influential churches, North Point, Jeff knows what success looks like for healthy organizations and healthy lives. With fascinating stories from a host of entrepreneurs and Jeff's remarkable career, Know What You're For equips you with a simple strategy and the tools for extraordinary growth. You'll discover how to:

• Work for your current and future customers with a new, effective method
• Be for your team and help your people reach full potential
• Create a ripple impact by being for your community
• Live and work your best by caring for yourself

In a hypercritical, cynical world, one that is often known for what it's against, let's be a group of people known for who and what we're for. It's a powerful strategy for business. But more importantly, it is a revolutionary way to live.

What An Encoring Challenge

Jeff Henderson does a fantastic job of both encouraging AND challenging all of us who lead organizations. "A vision rarely repeated is quickly forgotten!" - GOLD! The social media section alone is worth the cost of this book. This is a "must read" and a "must implement" book for us all.

I am FOR financial literacy

I loved the book and love what Henderson is FOR. It took me too long to read/listen to it a few pages here and there. I'm going to read it again. There is so much to absorb, but I got that I need to know what I'm for and make sure that I'm known for it. I need to get serious about that FOR. Thank you.

Loved this book!

I listened to this book twice in a row because it was so good! I read a lot of business and marketing books, so the information is not 100% new stuff for me, but it did give me a new perspective on the concepts and ideas that I have been trying to implement as a VP of Marketing for a local credit union. My favorite quote (that can change your business if applied) is "Winning organizations of tomorrow will be more concerned with becoming fans of the customer instead of convincing customers to become fans of the organization." This is an excellent book that can help you change your focus from what you are selling to who you are "for". I appreciated how this principle was applied to social media and how we should get off our own platform and onto the platform of others, which gave me some great ideas on how we can use social media to celebrate our local community and reinforce our mission of "Helping our members accomplish great things!" I'd love for our whole management team to read this book!

Great ideas!

Jeff shares multiple out-of-the-box ideas that I believe every business owner should hear. I’m sure these ideas will work for non-profit and for-profit enterprises. Jeff, thank you for writing Know What Your For!

I listened to it TWICE

This book is a true gift for me personally and professionally. It opened my eyes to see that I wasn’t doing enough for those I serve. I will highly recommend it to everyone around me, in business or not.

Exceptional insights!

I do customer experience and social media marketing for a living and I'm truly amazed at the insight that Jeff shares in this book. I'm having my entire team read it. Jeff talks about in today's world of social media and online reviews, it doesn't matter what you say about your company, it matters more what your customers are saying online about your company. Today, its all about your online reputation and that is what consumers trust. This is spot on! Also, more companies need to become fans of their customers instead of vice versa. If you own a company or are in a position that influences marketing of a company, this is a must-read. Thank you Jeff for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us.

Mindset with Tangible Takeaways

My favorite part of the book was the paradigm shift of moving away from being for me to authentically being for you. So many great chapters that changed my mindset while also giving me tangible takeaways to apply today. I’ve truly been blessed and convicted by this book.

Wow!

I loved this book! So much great insight on the importance of knowing what you are for and how to make a positive impact on peoples lives daily! Highly highly recommend this book!!!

For!

Read this! You can’t do everything for everyone, but you can do one thing for one person that can change their life!

Awesome. I've already begun to make changes.

So many great nuggets in this book. I have already started to implement a few things!!!
