The Inspire Code
How to Build Self-Leading
Teams in the Midst of Chaos
Stop Managing People,
Start Growing Leaders
Most leaders try to manage people. Great leaders grow them.
In The Inspire Code, Saša Mirković shares the leadership principles that helped him go from surviving war-torn Bosnia to building a world-class, self-leading team in business.
Through honest stories and practical frameworks, he challenges leaders to stop controlling every move and start creating cultures built on trust, accountability, and purpose.
If you want stronger teams, healthier culture, and lasting impact,
it starts with how you lead yourself first.

Saša Mirković is a husband, father of three, and leadership practitioner whose convictions were forged during the siege of Sarajevo and tested in the business arena. After immigrating to the United States in 1997, he built Inspire Confidence Group, a private wealth advisory practice of Ameriprise Financial, from a single advisor into a world-class, self-leading team.
Today, as CEO of Inspire Network, Saša helps business owners build resilient cultures, develop self-leading teams, and create legacies that endure across generations.

Praise For The Inspire Code & Saša...
“Every great team I've ever coached reached a point where they didn't need me telling them what to do. They led themselves. That's the hardest thing to build and the most valuable. It starts with the leader—making reads, adapting, and transforming yourself before you ask anyone else to change. Saša Mirković did exactly that, and the framework he built isn't theory. It was forged in battle, tested in business, and written for anyone ready to become the kind of leader worth following.”
Mike Krzyzewski | "Coach K," Five-Time NCAA National Champion and Head Coach Emeritus, Duke University, and 3-Time Olympic Gold Medal Head Coach
“I've worked with hundreds of leaders over the course of my career. Most of them were smart. A handful were exceptional. Saša is something else entirely. I didn't just read this book—I lived parts of it. Front-row seat. What I learned was how he processed what I witnessed. What struck me most wasn't the strategy. It was the humility. He owns his role in every hard story. He doesn't hide the cracks. That's rare. And it's exactly why this book works. I've been waiting for Saša to write this. Not because the world needs another leadership book, but because it needs this leadership book. Read it. Then do the work.”
Maureen Buckley | Former Chief Operating Officer at Inspire Confidence Group and Former CEO at RiverSource Life of New York
“Drawing on lived experience and real-world leadership challenges, The Inspire Code shows how leaders can create the conditions for teams to take ownership and lead themselves. I’ve watched Saša live this work long before he ever wrote about it—building trust and accountability and demonstrating that the strongest teams don’t need to be micromanaged. As you embrace the spirit of this book, you come to understand what always guided Saša’s approach: that business, at its core, is about people."
Bill Williams | Ameriprise EVP, President of Ameriprise Franchise Group and Ameriprise Personal Wealth Group
“The Inspire Code is something rare: a business page-turner that grips the reader from the first page to the last. It is a 'must-read,' a blueprint for creating a company that can thrive across generations. Every entrepreneur who hopes their business will outlast them should read this remarkable book.”
