The title of the book is apt as it is a how to guide to lead everyday. The content of the book matches what the title offers. The language is appropriate to almost all the professions. The divisions and chapters do line up accurately. A smooth and satisfactory read.
WHAT DOES THE BOOK OFFER The book offers tips and tricks on how to lead in a normal life. Approaches and examples are relatable and a few real life examples do add value to the overall content.
Structure. The structure of the book enables a reader to be engaged from the beginning till the end. ‘LEARN GROW PRACTICE’ motto of does resonate throughout the book. Clarity and approach of the writers is good. The need for team building with examples of their own experiences do add to the overall content. The SERVE acronym (See the future, Engage, Reinvent, Value others, Engage) that is introduced in the early chapters sets the tone of the entire book.
PEOPLE WANT CERTAINTY BUT WILL SETTLE FOR CLARITY
The book explores need for narration, engagement with team. The emphasis on need for change and how to introduce it to team is worth remembering for almost all encounters. The most important topic this book covers is How to attract and keep right people… Once again the questioners are great. The age old saying It is not what you say, but how and when you say matters, was covered superbly. The points out forward by the book about need for team meetings and how should they be conducted is amazing. The book ends with one of the most important lessons ‘Build the culture.’ Which in my opinion is the appropriate way to finish a book about building leaders.
Narrator
The narrator has done a great job! The audiobook was immersive and exciting at almost all part of the book. There are some caveats, namely you will need a notebook/ note app open in background for noting all the points being discussed in the book. Especially, the ‘practice’ parts. The use of word ‘HTTPS’ to describe the website did disengage me from the immersive narration.
The audiobook is a great alternative to paperback if you commute to your work everyday and have spare time of 15 to 20 minutes during the traffic/ public transport. The quality of the content demands you to have a book with you to know the action plan so that the theories are put to practice.
Why four stars. The constant reference to official website for almost all the lists and questioners instead of a local pdf is somewhat of a let down. A complete package with additional if needed should have been directed to website.
‘Succinct and worth revisiting.’

I have read most, if not all, of Mark Miller’s books. Been a fan for years. So it’s not surprising that I loved LEAD EVERY DAY. Miller teams up with Randy Gravitt to create a readable and practical guide on being an effective leader … every day! Filled with solid advice, and ways to practice (PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE) your leadership and developing leadership skills. There are thousands of books on leadership, so you have to be a bit discriminating in what you read. While I always enjoy academic exercises, as a practitioner there is no substitute for being able to apply what I’ve learned. This one is worth the read! So for any leader … new or seasoned … you won’t go wrong with LEAD EVERY DAY!
This book is so practical, I have preordered four copies and recommended it to at least another four people. I really appreciate the focus on taking leadership philosophy and making it applied. It's filled with examples but even more importantly with strategies for how anyone can become a better leader starting with themselves, moving to their team and the culture of where they are. I have nodded along so much while finding actionable items. So practical. Love it! I listened to the audiobook and am excited to get the hardcover so I can sit down and underline the content.
Quite possibly one of the best leadership books I have read since Leaders Eat Last. Mark and Randy cover vital topics of leadership in any type of organization. I especially appreciated the ,chapters on building culture and execution. As a retired police chief, I really wished I had this knowledge while working in the service of my staff and community. Now working for a school district, I can apply these practices. Thank you to NetGalley and Matt Holt Books for the chance to enjoy this audiobook.
Mark Miller and Randy Gravitt offer the most practical advice to leaders. The authors say to leaders, “Your legacy isn’t defined by the beginning or the end of your career. It’s what you do in between.” This book shows leaders how to make the in between count. Miller and Gravitt say leadership is about five fundamentals, and they give excellent examples to show how important each fundamental is in creating a high-performance team. It’s not just about hiring top talent. Companies must keep the top talent. Miller and Gravitt walk readers through the how-to and the don’t do to create a workplace where people thrive and want to stay. If you’re looking for a step-by-step process for unleashing the passion and performance around you, then you’ll find that kind of help in this book. They cover how to build teams, how to build a genuine community, how to develop more leaders, and how to build a dynamic culture. The workplace would be a much better place if leaders would follow the advice in Lead Every Day.
thanks to Netgalley for this ARC. I immediately requested to read this book since I'm currently starting my leadership journey, and boy did i take notes. the tips are very practical and easy to apply on our daily lives. i highly recommend for leaders at all phase of their careers, whether leading a team or an entire organization. this is so good. thank you!
Great lessons for any leader in any profession. Content presented in practice, concise manner that is easy to understand and start to implement.
I listened to this as the audiobook and think I would prefer the physical book. Though the narrator was easy to understand and listen to, the information could feel redundant at times.
This would be the perfect gift for any professional.
Thank you to NetGalley and Brillance Publishing for the ARC of this book.
