  • - Building a Leadership Culture (16pt Large Print Edition)
    av Mark Miller
    470,-

    Leaders Made Here Building a Leadership Culture Every organization dreams of having enough leaders. Yet most take a haphazard or inconsistent approach to leadership development. They either assume they can find new leaders when they need them or they believe leaders are born-they can't be made. The consequences of this thinking are devastating, creating a perpetual shortfall of high caliber leaders; without them, no organization can thrive. The good news: this problem is solvable! Bestselling author and Chick-fil-A executive Mark Miller describes how any organization can create a culture in which leaders are routinely and systematically developed, resulting in a surplus of leaders. Miller details how to nurture leaders throughout the organization, from the front lines to the executive ranks. He provides a game plan for organizations to create a deep and effective leadership bench. To bring his ideas to life, Miller uses the story of Blake, a new CEO, and Charles, and old friend and colleague, as they search for best practices from around the world to ensure a continuous supply of their most precious asset-leaders. Blake and his team then translate their findings into a practical plan that any organization can use to create a leadership culture that will ensure a sustainable competitive advantage and long-term success.

  • - What Great Leaders Know and Do (Third Edition) (16pt Large Print Edition)
    av Ken Blanchard & Mark Miller
    470,-

    In this new edition of their classic business fable, Ken Blanchard and Mark Miller get at the heart of what makes a leader successful. Newly promoted but struggling young executive Debbie Brewster asks her mentor the one question she desperately needs answered: ''What is the secret of great leaders?'' His reply - ''great leaders serve'' - flummoxes her, but over time he reveals the five fundamental ways that leaders succeed through service. Along the way she learns: â¿¢ Why great leaders seem preoccupied with the future â¿¢ How people on the team ultimately determine your success or failure â¿¢ What three arenas require continuous improvement â¿¢ Why true success in leadership has two essential components â¿¢ How to knowingly strengthen - or unwittingly destroy - leadership credibility. The tenth anniversary edition includes a leadership self - assessment so readers can measure to what extent they lead by serving and where they can improve. The authors also have added answers to the most frequently asked questions about how to apply the SERVE model in the real world. As practical as it is uplifting, The Secret shares Blanchard's and Miller's wisdom about leadership in a form that anyone can easily understand and implement. This book will benefit not only those who read it but also the people who look to them for guidance and the organizations they serve.

  • - Becoming a Leader People Want to Follow (16pt Large Print Edition)
    av Mark Miller
    470,-

    This short, easy-to-read fable reveals the five habits that underlie leadership character and that determine leaders' success - and teaches leaders how to develop these habits. Like Mark Miller's previous books, this one follows the life, learning, and influence of Debbie Bruster. Here she finds herself mentoring Blake Brown, the son of her former mentor. Rather than answer Blake's questions about leadership directly, Debbie introduces him to other leaders, each of whom shares a unique perspective on what really makes a leader successful. As Blake puts the pieces together, he discovers his problem is not one of skills but of character, that leadership is more about the heart of the leader than the head or hands. In fact, Miller summarized these traits with the acronym HEART: Hunger for Wisdom, Expect the Best, Accept Responsibility, Respond with Courage, and Think Others First. With the help of his new friends and mentors, Blake is able to build a plan to transform his heart. The good news for all of us: leadership is not just the purview of the few - it is within reach for millions of aspiring leaders around the world. This book is the road map they need to get their lives and careers on track.

    Always a Tiger: Keep Movin’ Forward is written from the point of view of a common middle class man.  Who, through all of the tragedy had to go to work, deal with middle class financial means, and set an example for his children.  The book is an introspective, inspiring, and spiritual memoir of a man whose life’s career as an educator and coach has been dedicated toward the betterment of young people.     Mark Miller’s unique personal story involves six different kinds of extreme tragedy: the cancer and death of his wife, Mark’s role in an automobile / motorcycle accident fatality, one murder, two suicides, losing two friends to brain cancer as well as almost losing his family in a single car accident of their own.  Yet, through the power of attitude, choice, faith, family, football, and love, Mark has re-married and is trying to be better not bitter.       Mark’s story is about the daily impact of his Christian faith, identifying with his family’s military heritage, the blessings of family, friends and loved ones as well as the application of the life lessons of football.  Through the empowering attitude of the conscious choice to work to be better and not bitter, it is a testament to the time enduring fact that, even in death, God and love never fail.  Always A Tiger: Keep Movin’ Forward is a memoir with direct interest for anybody needing or wanting a new perspective and appreciation about life.    Successful leaders know and acknowledge the fact that assistants and subordinates perform most of the work that makes an organization successful.  The Pareto Principle states that 20% of the people do 80% of the work within an organization.  General Colin Powell and other great military leaders agree that the true status of an organization can be measured by getting feedback from the soldiers.  Always A Tiger: Keep Movin’ Forward is written from the perspective of being a Military Dependent, not the solider.  The perspective of a coordinator and / or assistant coach, not the head coach.  The care giving husband and father, not the cancer patient.     Adversity is defined as an unfavorable fortune, event, or circumstance.  A Tragedy is a fatal, lamentable, or disastrous event.  Priorities and their significance have distorted our views of reality and what is important in life.  The purpose of this book is to help people prioritize their lives, identify those priorities significance, isolate the difference between adversity and tragedy, while equipping them with a daily approach and attitude toward life.

  • - Lonnie Johnson in Toronto, 1965-1970 (Trade Paper)
    av Mark Miller
    290,-

    Toronto was Lonnie Johnson's last stop in a career of stops, at least the eighth city in which he lived for any length of time. The influential African-American singer and guitarist, a formative figure in the history of blues and jazz dating back to the 1920s, travelled north for a brief appearance at the New Gate of Cleve in May 1965 and returned for a longer engagement at the Penny Farthing in June. Over the next five years - the last five years of his life - he rarely left the city again. Way Down That Lonesome Road: Lonnie Johnson in Toronto, 1965-1970, the tenth book from noted Canadian jazz historian Mark Miller, reclaims Johnson from the realm of legend and brings him back to life. In part a biographical study and in part a social history, Way Down That Lonesome Road follows Johnson from the generous welcome that he received from Toronto's critics on his arrival and the successes and failures that followed.

    As organizations grow, the demands on leadership change. The same old moves won't cut it any more. In Chess Not Checkers, Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, newly appointed CEO of a company troubled by poor performance and low morale. Nothing Blake learned from his previous job seems to help him deal with the issues he now faces. The problem, his new mentor points out, is Blake is playing checkers - he needs to play chess or he's going to lose. The early days of an organization are like checkers: a quick game with mostly interchangeable pieces. Everybody does a little bit of everything, the leader included, and things are so frantic you just have to react as fast as you can. But as the organization expands, you can't just keep jumping from activity to activity. You have to think strategically, look ahead, leverage every employee's specific talents. That's chess. And this approach creates unprecedented levels of performance. Adapting four strategies from the game of chess, Miller reveals four moves high-performance organizations make. They bet on leadership, act as one, win the heart, and excel at execution. Chess Not Checkers is an accessible and easily applied guide to help leaders elevate their own leadership and the performance of their entire team.
