Ever been thrust into a role you never expected and found yourself leading the way? That's just a glimpse into the formative years of Mark Miller, our remarkable guest and a leadership maestro who rose through the ranks at Chick-fil-A. Our conversation is not merely a chat; it's a treasure trove of insights, guiding you on a path to 'Uncommon Greatness', the masterpiece Mark pens that breaks down five fundamentals capable of transforming your leadership ethos. Join us on a deep exploration into the 'iceberg model' of leadership, where skills are just the tip while the enormous, unseen heart beneath drives true influence. It's about connecting the dots between one's heart and the trust they instill in their team, a lesson I've learned firsthand in my own leadership journey. Ken Blanchard weighs in, adding to the robust discussion on how to intertwine skill with the essence of leading with heart. This episode is an invitation to challenge the common and embrace the uncommon, ensuring that your leadership practice is as heartfelt as it is strategic. As we wrap up, we don't just leave you with ideas but with actionable strategies. I'm sharing how I balance my result-driven nature with the softer side of leadership—like setting personal goals for expressing gratitude—to foster relationships while chasing goals. It's about doing ordinary things in an extraordinary fashion, a philosophy that Mark and I believe can resonate well beyond our conversation and into the communities you lead. So whether you're looking to edge out as a leader in your field or just seeking to enrich your personal leadership style, this episode is your guiding star to 'Lead Every Day' with impact and heart.
