Leadership Lounge with Jack Tester

Jack Tester sits down with NYT-bestselling author and motivational speaker John Maxwell at Nexstar’s Super Meeting 2020 in Phoenix. They discuss John’s concept of “Leadershift”- the idea that leaders need to make decisions and pivot quickly when faced with new challenges. “Movement creates action,” he says. “Just because you’ve made a decision doesn’t mean you took action. You’ve got to jump; you’ve got to move.”

Jocko Willink discusses his concept of Extreme Ownership, and speaks to how extreme ownership goes both up and down the chain of command. He goes on to explain how, in his time as a Navy SEAL, he learned that "you have to train and be prepared for things you don't expect," and how that translates well into running a business.
