Okay, here is my deal. I really like the idea of being inspired to do the best work possible. But the 'Fred' Factor has turned into 'I'm doing someone else's job' Factor. Sanborn tells stories about people who go above and beyond. Well, that's fine and good but, people take advantage of this. Let me explain. At one point, Sanborn was staying in a hotel and he spilled coffee on his only pair of pants (that he had to wear home the following day). He asked the hotel if they could wash them, if ther...more
Let me get something off my chest.
Mark Sanborn is a nice guy and I like him. So, irrespective whatever I do state about the book, I doubt my loyalty towards Mark would change.
So now, let us begin the evaluation of ‘Fred Factor’.
Fred Factor is apparently a true story of a knock-your-sock-off-service postman who left such an indelible mark (on Mark), that it became a book and a message to the masses.
The gist of the whole book is simply this – Go the super extra mile not for self-benefit but for pu...more

Picked this up because a prospective client cited it as an example of really good design, supporting readability--he wanted the same features in his book. I don't really see anything unusual in the design, though. It's pretty standard.
Meanwhile, since the book was sitting around on my table, I started flipping through it. I was surprised at my violent reaction to it. I really hate this book.

Clearly written by someone who has no real world experience working in customer service.
Long review; reading for a staff assignment, so I’m fleshing out my thoughts some more.
This is an entry-level book. Its useful elements could have been condensed into a pamphlet or essay. Sanborn offers some good advice (ex: always be reinventing yourself, make sure you follow through on your actions, listen with empathy), but this advice comes in simple statements and is never considered more deeply. I think it's missing some crucial next steps to putting these tenants into practice. Because th...more

As I wade into my collection of business books, this one came to the forefront because of its good sense and main topic of customer service. Or, as I like to call it, 'customer success'. The idea of providing the customer with service that will keep them loyal is now a bygone product, but one which will help an organization survive the ups-and-downs of economic changes.

I can't disagree with his idea of finding Flow at work but this overall feels like something from another planet. Being a super nice taxi driver for example is not going to help you when Uber has replaced that industry with gig drivers and then with robots.
Short and sweet. A good book to group read with your team. Can easily finish in one to two days.

This is a very short book whose premise is simple; be considerate and be willing to offer a helping hand without expecting anything more than feeling good about the fact that you want to be helpful.
Rather than telling you what this book is, I can tell you what it is not: this book isn't an epic tale; it isn't Faulkner or Hemingway; it isn't the recipe for curing all the world's ills; it certainly isn't a prescription on how to become a hero.

Fred - an optimistic, who gives value to his customers, who makes ordinary things in an extraordinary manner. 'The Fred factor' teaches the essence of making healthy relationships with people which leads to success, creating value for an each individual we meet everyday, reinventing and improvising the self everyday. Its always important to have Fred kind of persons everywhere, (organisation, family etc.,) who do good and feel good. F- Find, R- Reward, E- Educate and D- Demonstrate, good princip...more

As a Fred, I'm supposed to commit selfless acts to help other people. My selfless act is to suggest that you find other books to read to motivate yourself.
Lots of great reminders of how to treat others great book

The core part of this book is all about how passionate a person can be and how the same passion can take him from being an ordinary person to an extraordinary person irrespective of his passion is towards his work or in his daily life. This book helps on how to serve customers beyond treating them just as customers. These kind of passion arises from an individual's attitude and cannot be taught by someone. When a person gets an attitude on how he can help others, this in turn will extend as cust...more

We should all aspire to be the best we can be every day, per the simplified message of this book, but I am of the opinion that a reader who does not already have that goal in mind prior to reading the book, who does not already possess that attitude or commitment to bettering his or herself, will not finish the book any more or less inspired than they were before starting it.

Sanborn's encounter with the original Fred - an unusual postman who went out of his way to deliver exceptional service to the customers on his route - provides the basis for this book, which describes (as the subtitle indicates) 'how passion in your work and life can turn the ordinary into the extraordinary.' And let's face it - who doesn't want to be considered a phenomenal human being?

In The Fred Factor, Sanborn tells the true story about an ordinary man in an ordinary job providing an exceptional model of leadership by keeping service of others his priority. Sanborn uses Fred the mail carrier as an inspiring example of how all of us, regardless of our environment, can find opportunities to make a difference in the lives of those we serve by going the extra mile. In this text, Sanborn not only describes what a “Fred” is, but also illustrates to his readers how they too can be...more

This book was recommended to me by someone I truly respect in the business world. The context was, 'you are a FRED, you should read The Fred Factor.' So, I grabbed a copy from my library and that same way that energy creates energy, I was super excited about the content of this book. It is not one of the fiction-story-cheesy books. Some really good tips and my favorite is the ending, but, WE WILL GET TO THAT! But first, quotes! The book has great quotes from other sources. *'All men matter. You...more
This book is like a stick of dynomite. It's small and packed full of power. It can be read very quickly which is good for a busy person with little time to read. I stopped reading several times to ponder how I might apply certain ideas to my every day life and just to make sure I did not gloss over anything important.

Short and inspiring, the Fred Factor is a contrast to most succeed-in-business advice. Maybe that's because the goal isn't recognition or riches, but the deeper satisfaction of doing things right. The central idea of this book is that 'what makes any act extraordinary is doing it with heart. What makes any life extraordinary is living it with love.'

*Fred Principles*
1. Everyone makes a difference, no matter their role (and it’s their choice to do so)
2. Success is built on relationships, there is no such thing as a self-made man
3. You must constantly strive to create value for others, and it doesn’t have to cost a dime
4. You can reinvent yourself regularly (focusing on ‘one a day’ and incremental improvement)
If you see or anticipate a need for others – fill it! No need to wait or ask permission or wonder if others will do it. Do it! There is...more

The Fred Factor by Mark Sanborn is an excellent book on doing and being your best. It's a powerful little book with a poignant message for anyone wanting to be more and do more with their life, which will undoubtedly lead to success.

This book is a quick read and well worth the short amount of time needed to complete it. A simple idea is illustrated positively, that being passionate about making a good and positive impact on those around you in your life can enrich your own experiences. It is what I call a 'corporate marketing' book, and can easily be used as a good tool for employees in companies that strive for excellence and to stand apart as the best, but I also feel that this book's message can reach beyond the work day...more
I just read this last week again. This time to my husband and children. We all seemed to benefit. My kids have tried to be little Freds. Our bread business can benefit from this experience too.
This is a little 115 page treasure. I see how this is going to be beneficial with Love and Logic, The 7 Habits, and living the Golden Rule.

While some of the concepts are valuable, I couldn't get over the redundancy of the anecdotes and, really, of the text itself. The ideas are accessible: continually innovate, find ways to improve yourself, and learn to make all kinds of work meaningful. I get it, I really do, but, honestly, this book could have been, like, 30 pages.
I had heard of this book from my boss. It's super easy reading and it's the greatest concept. We all may not have the most glamorous jobs, but it doesn't mean we can't find some joy in our jobs. And we can do that by finding extraordinary ways to accomplish our jobs that maybe others have thought have, but not dared to try.
I think in this day and age, each of us could be kinder and more helpful. This book was hard to finish, even though it was short because it kept giving me great ideas on how I can improve, uplift, and show love for people. I had to stop and act on my ideas constantly. I hope you'll read this and become a FRED.
The ordinary can become extraordinary. No matter your station in life, you can bring energy and creativity to your life and work...making a difference every day; becoming more successful by building strong relationships; and creating value for others without spending a penny;
AND how to reinvent yourself.
AND how to reinvent yourself.
Super postive book. A must read. It is quick and gets you through the boring days of work. Two thumbs up how it talks about everyday chores that become positive ways of helping yourself and others. I got a christen vibe on this. Most impressed with the advice of not to overdo the positive too.
great principles to live by, share, and make others aware of. this is a particularly good book for those who may feel burned out in any aspect of their life.
