Book Glen’s Markets started in the small, thriving town of Gaylord, Michigan, on June 7, 1951, and was a dream of C. Glen Catt. Little did he know that through his efforts, that little 2,500-square-foot store would result in a regional supermarket chain of twenty-six stores with upwards of 2,500 associates. Through three generations of Glen’s, C. Glen Catt, Glen A. Catt, and Glen B. Catt (and numerous committed associates), Glen’s Markets would become highly admired within the retail food industry for its unique, self-perpetuating culture of relationships, customer service, and attention to detail. Intentional Leadership: The Glen’s Market Culture shares the story from the early sculpturing of C. Glen Catt growing up in a financially struggling family during and after the Great Depression in the 1930s through the intentional relationships with associates and customers to the psychological deliberations that resulted in selling the retail arm of the company in 1999. Glen’s Markets was built on the basis of people working with people serving people. Any individual who has the opportunity to work with another human being will find eye-opening examples in the Glen’s story that will help them to make a difference in the lives of the people they work with. Rather you are already in a leadership position or desire one day to have that responsibility, the uniqueness of how the Glen’s Markets family operated will spark new thoughts to help stretch your mind.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Life is a daring adventure or it is nothing at all" - Hellen Keller I have been a professional hunter for 30 years and have had hundreds of clients. Glen Catt stands out as the finest, most respectful, God loving client of them all. In ways he will never know, Glen taught me to be a better husband, father and human being. I shall forever remain in his debt. - Mark Sullivan, Professional Hunter From my 8 years guiding experience in the Yukon, I have learned that some years are better than others and despite the fact that the year Glen came to the Yukon was a slow one, we were still very successful but only because of an all out effort Glen and I put into looking for a trophy moose. Glen knew that it was called hunting and not about simply killing. Glen had learned that if you appricated and work enough at something there is generally a reward waiting you. I'll never forget the morning Glen and I climbed "Danny's hill" and peaked over the back side and there was the prize we were looking for. Glen paused for a moment took a deep breath of pure fresh air, thanked God for allowing him to see the amazing view that was before him and harvested a trophy of a life time bull moose. - Deon Dicks, Master Guide
