Win Every Day: Proven Practices for Extraordinary Results

by Mark Miller

Overview

The acclaimed leadership expert offers a proven, research-based method for creating workplaces where everyone performs at the highest level.
All high-performance organizations have one thing in common: execution. The men and women who work there sustain performance at seemingly otherworldly levels of precision, accuracy, and consistency. In the fifth and final book of Mark Miller's High-Performance series, he uses his trademark business fable format to show how any organization can cultivate the kind of everyday habits that yield extraordinary results.
Miller tells the story of Blake Brown, a CEO who learns essential business leadership lessons from a surprising source: his son's high school football coach. The story is fictional, but the principles and practices are very real, derived from years of research led by a team from Stanford University.
Miller and his team interviewed leaders and employees from numerous world-class organizations, including the Navy SEALS, Starbucks, Apple, Southwest Airlines, the Seattle Seahawks, Mayo Clinic, Cirque du Soleil, and more. The lessons learned were then field-tested with over seventy businesses employing over seven thousand people. Miller gives you proven tools to release the untapped potential in your people, create a strong competitive advantage, and win not just on game day but every day.

Editorial Reviews

Mark Miller teaches profound leadership principles, and Win Every Day is no exception! It is both memorable and inspiring. I recommend this book to any experienced or aspiring leader who wants to create results!”
—Chris McChesney, coauthor of the Wall Street Journal #1 bestseller The 4 Disciplines of Execution and Global Practice Leader for Execution, FranklinCovey
 
“This simple narrative offers real human-centered insights about the daily practice of execution, avoiding the banal ‘just do it’ platitudes and overgeneralized Six Sigma jargon that today fill our bookshelves. While dramatically improving execution in a company or personally can be an overwhelming challenge, Mark’s down-to-earth and often emotional story provides us with a tangible step-by-step model worth following.”
—Michael Barry, Adjunct Professor, Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University
 
“An important lesson our church has learned over the years is that big vision and proper planning amount to little more than words on paper if we don’t excel at execution. Win Every Day has provided a clear pathway to follow as we seek to accomplish our mission and see our vision realized. Every organization and team should integrate the wisdom in this book into their culture.”
—Shane Duffey, Lead Pastor, NewSpring Church
 
“As someone who is in the thick of running my own company, I believe Win Every Day is an invaluable resource for leaders and entrepreneurs. Based on extensive research but told in an easy story format, I finished it in one sitting and walked away with a new commitment (and new ideas) for how my team can execute our way into excellence and impact for those we serve across the globe. Mark teaches us how to back up our wow with the how.”
—Liz Bohannon, founder of Sseko Designs and author of Beginner’s Pluck

—Milt Lowder, founder and CEO, Synergy Group, and Performance Psychologist, Clemson Football
