What can you learn in unexpected places? Expect A Miracle is not a business book, but it is about leadership by example of a different kind. It tells the story of a family helmed by a high school dropout mother, married to a convicted felon, with two sons, one disabled. The brothers entered triathlons together and became the Sports Illustrated Kids’ SportsKids of the Year. When you need a real-life example of grit and resilience and a reminder that, if you think you have it bad, you really don’t, this is a breezy, inspirational read. The fact that it’s about life challenges not business and models kids not adults is also a great reminder that business lessons are everywhere – are you paying attention to all the opportunities to learn?
