Mark Miller talks “Culture Rules” - The Authority Podcast 30
We’re thrilled to welcome international best-selling author and business leader Mark Miller as our guest for this episode of The Authority.
Mark is Vice President of High Performance Leadership for Chick-Fil-A. He first started at the company as an hourly team member in 1977 and has served in numerous roles along the way.
Culture Rules: The Leader's Guide to Creating the Ultimate Competitive Advantage is Mark’s 11th book. He currently has over one million books in print in more than twenty-five languages.
Ross and Mark discuss:
- 71% of U.S. leaders believe culture is their #1 most powerful tool to drive performance, but enhancing culture ranks low on their priority list — why the gap?
- First move: decide and declare what you're trying to create. Culture needs to be explicit.
- Leaders animate culture — this is the big idea of the book
- The 3 Culture Rules: Aspire, Amplify, Adapt
- What does culture mean to your customers?
- Adapt, not react — how to adapt and what the current in-person vs. remote debate tells us.
- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella wanted to shift the company from being “know-it-alls” to “learn-it-alls” — what did Mark learn while working on the book?
- The “magic circle” of game design and how it explains culture.
- What Mark learned about innovation and purpose.
- Measuring culture
