After the Navy, he worked as a contractor in the Middle East before attending Harvard Business School. Today, Nick is passionate about helping organizations adapt to a rapidly changing global context and meet the need for constant innovation. His focus is on giving teams and leaders tools to function at the highest level.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElite leaders know that the key to getting to the top is to surround themselves with other elite people. Nick Hays is one of those elite people. Reading\u003ci\u003e Elite: High Performance Lessons and Habits from a Former Navy SEAL\u003c\/i\u003e is like ­sitting down to a one-on-one conversation with one of the elites. His resume ­features service as a Navy SEAL, high-level operations in the Middle East, work with professional sports teams, and graduation from Harvard Business School. Readers will learn the same secrets of success (and failure) that Nick Hays learned through a lifetime of commitment, fierce dedication, and achievement. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInside, readers will find 13 principles for elite performance, each the result of hard-fought battles and tough lessons supported by the author’s experience. With practical tips to apply these principles in everyday life, everyone can benefit from these insights into what it takes to become the best of the best.\u003ci\u003e Elite\u003c\/i\u003e will be a game-changer for anyone who is open to learning new practices and strategies that will help them overcome insecurities and setbacks to accomplish even the most ambitious goals. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove all, \u003ci\u003eElite\u003c\/i\u003e is relatable. This is not a book written to whip readers into shape with harsh realities or intimidate them with unmatchable tales of triumph. Instead, Nick Hays unabashedly relates how his life’s accomplishments were inseparable from the failures, uncertainties, and setbacks. But he never stopped struggling to get to where he wanted to be, no matter what. In the face of adversity, he learned to keep going, to surround himself with the best of the best, and to turn struggles into lessons and motivation for relentlessly pursuing his dreams. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne of the key messages in this book is that the path to becoming elite is not a smooth one. Sometimes we must do what we have to do to improve our situation and get where we want to be. Knowing when to listen to the experts and when to stand up and fight is easier said than done. By implementing the processes outlined in \u003ci\u003eElite\u003c\/i\u003e, readers can learn to look at every situation strategically, taking their performance to the level of the elites.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989120106725,"sku":"NP9781119538097","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119538097.jpg?v=1761782878","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/elite-isbn-9781119538097","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
