421: Four Simple Choices to Scale Your Impact with Chick-fil-A’s Mark Miller

Today’s guest is on the executive team of one of the nation’s most successful companies. That company is Chick-fil-A.

I’m talking, of course, about Executive Vice President of High-Performance Leadership, Mark Miller.

He’s been a guest on the show before to talk about Win Every Day. His latest book, though, is called Smart Leadership: Four Simple Choices to Scale Your Impact.

In this episode, Mark challenges us to intentionally schedule time to Reflect, Assess, Think, Create, and Plan. Additionally, he shares that the bigger your dreams, vision, challenges, problems, and opportunities, the more margin you need in your life. Time alone, Mark says, is when a leader adds the most to the organization.
