John G. Miller, has a new book hitting the store shelves this month! Outstanding! 47 Ways to Make Your Organization Exceptional. The book is inspirational as well as a guide-book that individuals and organizations can use to set your organization apart from the pack, making customers and stakeholders get more involved and wanting to “stick” with the organization.

From my last post, you may recognize John as the winner of Sarah Palin’s jacket she wore for the photo of her best-selling book “Going Rogue”. All the proceeds went to benefit two organizations that support our U.S. troops, and the jacket made it home to John’s house. John’s lovely and gracious wife Karen modeled it briefly.

We’re just impressed that John was this generous in helping the people that are out there laying their lives on the line for all of us.

We’ve also been fascinated by the level of angst or joy that the mere mention of Sarah Palin generates. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one person garner so much of a positive response – or raise the level of hatred towards an individual so high in the negative responses.

But whatever your take on Mrs. Palin is, it was nice of her to donate the jacket, and even cooler that they made sure the profits went to support two important groups like Wounded Warrior Project and the Fisher House.

Politics must end when we are talking about the care of wounded soldiers. And for that, John, Sarah and all those involved at the very least deserve a thank you.
