Rich lays out guideposts and lessons that are clear and easy to understand. Each of the guideposts contain practical and insightful advice that is relevant not only to one’s professional life but also ones that can be applied to personal life. As someone who was privileged to have worked under his leadership and benefitted greatly from his advice – and after reading his book -- I can say that Rich’s guideposts are what made him a beloved leader at Virtua and within the entire South Jersey community. I highly recommend this book to both established and emerging leaders.

His 5 Essential Guideposts provide practical advice and insight based on real CEO leadership and decision-making that are valuable to aspiring and experienced leaders alike. Rich’s insights also reinforce the importance of faith, values and humanity in shaping one’s leadership style for sustained success.

Rich has used his personal experiences, successes as a CEO and challenges along the way to deliver a powerful message of leadership, commitment to others and self-fulfillment. His book is an enjoyable read and I highly recommend it—especially for those seeking to improve team productivity, messaging skills and overall connection with family and colleagues!

Rich Miller is an executive and servant leader whose strong faith in GOD empowered him to take the lessons from a pinnacle event in his youth to become leader of a prominent health care system by creating and fostering an organizational culture where ‘caring’ is the central value. Rich leads with compassion and humanity and has a natural way of connecting with people that helps to achieve goals. He actively engaged the intellectual prowess of all qualified talent regardless of race, sex or creed to meet the needs of the patients and customers who trusted the organization for health and healing. His book, “Leadership: A Matter of Faith” will provide useful and timeless insights as well as spread the tenants of good leadership for current and up and coming leaders.

Transformational Leadership starts on the inside, with a commitment to always be moving to the next level of understanding and alignment with one's higher purpose. This is a journey that Rich embraced. By allowing his spiritual life to integrate and synchronize with his everyday life and leadership roles, Rich's vision of service was illumined. As a result, Rich was able to positively influence a dedication to collective values within our community that remains today. Most importantly, by sharing his faith journey, Rich reminds us that when we are in-spirit, we can best in-spire others.
