The “Secret” to Leadership with Author Mark Miller

from Second Mile Leadership · host Jason & Isaiah

What does it actually look like to build a leadership culture that lasts — not just talk about it, but live it for decades?In this episode, I sit down with Mark Miller — bestselling author, former Vice President of High-Performance Leadership at Chick-fil-A, and one of the most respected voices in leadership development today. Mark began his writing career by teaming up with Ken Blanchard, co-author of The One Minute Manager, to write The Secret: What Great Leaders Know and Do  — a book that has since become a cornerstone resource for leaders around the world. Over 25 years, Mark and his team invested tens of millions of dollars searching for and validating leadership principles that actually work in the real world. We cover a lot of ground in this conversation. Mark pulls back the curtain on his own leadership journey — from starting as an hourly team member to spending the last two decades of his career focused entirely on serving leaders and helping them grow themselves, their teams, and their organizations.  We dig into why so many organizations fail to prioritize leadership development even when they know they should, and what it costs them when they don’t.Then we get into the heart of The Secret itself — the SERVE framework — and what it actually looks like to execute each element at a high level inside a real organization.If you lead people, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your role.Get Mark’s new book The Secret 4th Edition: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FHJYP531?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_ud_dp_QDXTKB9SWF8C9X5J01Z6&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_ud_dp_QDXTKB9SWF8C9X5J01Z6&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_ud_dp_QDXTKB9SWF8C9X5J01Z6&bestFormat=true&language=en-USGet more info on Mark and his company Lead Everyday: https://leadeveryday.com/Reach Mark on his cell: 678-612-8441 or email him [email protected]
