Never Enough; A Navy SEAL Commander on Living a Life of Excellence, Agility, and Meaning



Every leader or anyone interested in leadership should read this and learn. 

Having a career as a Navy SEAL, working in the White House during that time, the challenges of wartime service in some of the most dangerous places, provides the background for excellent leadership development. 

Successful leadership in a changing world mean that you can never be satisfied with who you are or what you know. It is never enough! There is always room for improvement or looking for a new or better way to accomplish a task. 

Great leadership is not just about being a great leader but developing others and their skill whether you are their superior or subordinate. The key is how you treat people, encouraging them to be better while holding them accountable for their actions and the impact it has on others. Working for the greater good of the community is the key. 

Using simple outlines of methods with life stories as illustrations there is a good balance to learn from someone who has been a successful leader in the military, business and government. 

There is the challenge to be the best while putting the wellbeing of others before yourself.   That helps drive others to be the best they can be as well. 

This is not only a great read for leaders but for those that feel that they want to be better at life. After all we are all called to be a leader, often without a title that goes with it. That lesson comes through clear here as well. 

I received an advance copy of this from the publisher for review.
