Book Review: Outstanding by John Miller

Every week at Absolute Colour Fast Printing we recommend a book that encourages us to reach for the stars, to excel, or as we like to say, to be Outstanding. Today’s book review is aptly named—Outstanding by John Miller.

Every day, outstanding organisations 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. Understanding these principles can help any business, even those seeking fast printing solutions to meet tight deadlines and still deliver exceptional quality.

Informed by his own commitment to the concept of personal accountability and enlivened by compelling true stories from exceptional organisations, John Miller’s insightful and accessible book identifies the principles and behaviors that distinguish such organisations from the pack. Miller provides readers with ways to integrate these principles into their own work, emphasisng the importance of personal accountability and collective effort in achieving excellence.

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. These ideas are essential for creating a distinguished organisation that customers and stakeholders will want to work with.
