Kathy Miller, MAPP, MBA, ACC releases MORE Is Better, a new operations leadership playbook for driving performance.
Westfield, IN — Operations senior executive Kathy Miller, MAPP, MBA, ACC announces the release of her new book, MORE Is Better: Leading Operations with Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships for Excellence, now available through Amazon and Routledge.
At a time when operational leaders are being squeezed from every side by labor constraints, rising complexity, faster technology adoption, and relentless cost pressure, MORE Is Better offers a practical framework for improving performance by improving how work is experienced on the front line and across functions.
Grounded in operational excellence, MORE Is Better introduces a framework for leading operations with Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships for Excellence (MORE). The book positions purpose, optimism, and strong working relationships as essential drivers of sustained results, rather than treating culture and performance as separate efforts.
Drawing on a career that progressed from early plant-floor engineering roles to senior global operations and transformation leadership, Miller integrates lived leadership experience with applied research from positive psychology. MORE Is Better links how people experience their work to how organizations perform, strengthening adaptability, decision-making, and execution across the enterprise.
“Every day, leaders are being asked to deliver stronger results with fewer resources and more uncertainty,” said Miller. “This book shows how focusing on how people experience their work is not a distraction from performance, it’s a driver of it.”
MORE Is Better includes practical tools, real-world examples, and ready-to-use interventions leaders can apply immediately to improve team effectiveness, strengthen culture, and deliver results. Built for leaders “on the carpet and the concrete,” the MORE framework is especially relevant for environments where performance depends on frontline leadership and cross-functional collaboration.
MORE Is Better is available in hardcover, paperback, and digital formats via Amazon and Routledge.
