The Fore-Giver: A powerful human story about a simple business idea

The Fore-Giver is a business fable about a radically simple business idea - that treating people right, whether they are employees, customers, or shareholders - is a winning principle. This is the story of Jack, a middle-aged business owner who built his business from the ground up. After years of hard work, he finally decided to take his very first vacation. However, his friend and business partner took advantage of his absence and quickly maneuvered Jack out of leadership role in his own company, leaving the business vulnerable to a hostile takeover. Feeling betrayed and embittered, Jack slowly slipped into depression. That is, until a friend persuaded him to attend an executive retreat where he encounters what seemed to him to be an unusual but powerful key to success and wholeness in business. As he embraces the Fore-Giver principles and commits to living them out in his business life, Jack makes a surprising discovery that transformed him into a fulfilled executive, and learns that things are not always what they seem.
