Episode Details

In this episode of 9-5 Exit Plan, I sit down with senior operations executive, leadership strategist, author, and Women in Manufacturing Hall of Fame inductee Kathy Miller.

Kathy started her career on the factory floor at 17 and went on to lead complex operations across aerospace, automotive, and industrial manufacturing, including senior leadership roles with General Motors, Parker Hannifin, Rolls-Royce, and Vertiv. (MORE 4 Leaders⁠)

We explore the connection between culture and business performance, and why the strongest organizations don’t treat people and results as competing priorities.

Kathy introduces her MORE framework — Meaning, Optimism, and Relationships — with Excellence as the outcome, and explains how leaders can use these principles to improve trust, accountability, engagement, decision-making, and operational performance.

We also discuss leadership development, AI and the future of work, managing change, and how leaders can protect meaning and human connection as technology transforms the workplace.

If you’re an entrepreneur, executive, or business leader who wants to build a high-performing organization without losing the humans inside it, this conversation offers practical ideas you can put to work immediately.
