The 90% Advantage - by Randy Nathan (Hardcover)

About the Book

The 90% Advantage helps leaders unlock the potential of everyday employees by focusing on mindset, relationships, and resiliency, turning good people into great performers.

Book Synopsis

Most leadership books focus on the top 10 percent, the superstars, the high potentials, and the rising stars chasing elite performance. The 90% Advantage: How to Elevate Good People Into Great Performers turns the spotlight where it truly belongs: on the everyday employees who show up, contribute, and make your organization work.

Randy Nathan, executive coach, speaker, and author, brings his unique blend of social work, sports leadership, and corporate coaching to reveal the untapped potential of the 90 percent. Using stories, humor, and practical strategies, he shows why focusing on the steady and reliable majority is the real key to winning in business.

This book introduces leaders to three essential advantages that transform good employees into great performers:

1. Cultivating the Right Mindset - Learn to see the hidden value in everyday contributors and shift leadership perspective from scarcity to abundance.
2. Building Relationships - Discover how coaching, recognition, and meaningful connection fuel loyalty, innovation, and engagement.
3. Strengthening Resiliency - Equip teams to adapt, recover, and thrive when challenges and setbacks inevitably hit.

By mastering these three advantages, leaders create an environment where people feel valued, motivated, and ready to give their best. Not because they are chasing the spotlight, but because their contributions matter.

With actionable tools, real-world examples, and a refreshing people-first approach, The 90% Advantage is a powerful resource for managers, executives, and business leaders who want to unlock the full potential of their teams. It is a reminder that greatness does not come only from the top 10 percent. True growth and long-term success come from elevating the 90 percent, the very people who make everything else possible.
