Leadership Lounge with Jack Tester

Jack answers Julian's questions on leadership lessons he's learned over the years during his tenure as President and CEO of Nexstar Network. 

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.

 Adrian Stephenson, owner of Comfort Services in the Raleigh, NC area, speaks with Jack about his story, discussing how Nexstar trainings have stabilized and improved his business. He shares a story about teaching himself to close leads using the Nexstar process to convince his Comfort Advisor to adapt to Nexstar training, and realizing that not everyone can accept change, even when it benefits them. "I would tell anyone: if you really apply yourself to the HVAC Service System, that stuff really works," he says.
