"Outstanding! hits the nail on the head in every way: Practical content, terrific stories, and an easy read. Miller has provided a road map for organizations to become exceptional--just follow the path laid out. Definitely a must read!"

--Dave Ramsey, author of Total Money Makeover and host of The Dave Ramsey Show

Every day outstanding organizations do things and promote values that ensure they will retain customers, grow revenues, increase market share, and build their reputations. People in these organizations hold values and take actions-- individually and collectively--that are not always easy or obvious but are fundamentally powerful.

Informed by his own commitment to the concept of personal accountability and enlivened by compelling true stories from exceptional organizations, in this insightful and accessible book John Miller identifies the principles and behaviors that distinguish such organizations from the pack and provides readers with ways to integrate them into their own work.

With its pithy entries that carry significant impact, Outstanding is by turns a playbook, a guide, and an inspiration. It is filled with practical ideas that can--and should--be used every single day by individuals and teams from the boardroom to the stockroom for creating a distinguished organization with which customers and stakeholders will want to work.

Synopsis:

The bestselling author of QBQ shows how anyone can use the unlimited potential of accountability to create an outstanding organization.

How to be outstanding:

a Deliver what you promise.

a Reward the work ethic, not the workaholic.

a Accept failure as a part of doing business-and learn from it.

a Choose character over credentials.

a Embrace humility-it is not humbling; it is empowering.

Do people fire companies? You bet they do. But anyone can fireproof their organization with the timely and timeless ideas in Outstanding.

Every day outstanding organizations do things that ensure they will retain customers, grow revenues, increase market share, and build their reputations. These successful organiA-zations comprise people who hold values and take actions- individually and collectively-that are simple but not always easy or obvious.

Informed by Miller's own commitment to the power of perA-sonal accountability and enlivened by compelling true stories, Outstanding identifies the principles and behaviors that distinguish such organizations from the pack and provides readers ways to integrate these concepts into their own work and companies.

With its short pithy entries that carry a lot of impact and takeaway value, Outstanding is filled with practical ideas that can-and should-be used every single day by individuals and groups from the boardroom to the stockroom for creating a distinguished organization with which customers and stakeholders will want to work.
