Today we are diving into Never Enough - Living a Life of Excellence, Agility and Meaning by Mike Hayes, former commanding officer of US Navy Seal Team 2. In today’s episode we are afforded the incredible opportunity to have Mike join us to help weave some of these concepts into the fabric of the Construction Industry. To the listeners out there…this will be a heavy note taking episode. Mike has lived a lifetime of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. He has been held at gunpoint and threatened with execution. He’s jumped out of a building rigged to explode, helped amputate a teammate’s leg, and made countless split-second life-and-death decisions. He’s written countless emails to his family, telling them how much he loves them, just in case those were the last words of his they’d ever read. Outside of the SEALs, he’s run meetings in the White House Situation Room, negotiated international arms treaties, and developed high-impact corporate strategies.
Over his many years of leadership, he has always strived to be better, to contribute more, and to put others first. That’s what makes him an effective leader, and it’s the quality that he’s identified in all of the great leaders he’s encountered. That continual striving to lift those around him has filled Mike’s life with meaning and purpose, has made him secure in the knowledge that he brings his best to everything he does, and has made him someone others can rely on.
In Never Enough, Mike recounts dramatic stories and offers battle- and boardroom-tested advice that will motivate readers to do work of value, live lives of purpose, and stretch themselves to reach their highest potential. Today Mike is the chief digital transformation officer at VMware.
Mike joins NEXT Academy Co-Creators Chad Jones and Cody Phillips as they discuss “Never Enough” and pull out leadership lessons that they feel can help contractors create a competitive advantage by utilizing Excellence, Agility and Meaning! This book is #AWESOME 🔥🔥🔥
