The Bo & Luke Show®️ #113 - JetBlue Co-Founder & Navy TOPGUN Pilot / Chief Instructor, Dr. Mike Barger
Mike Barger is an acclaimed author, speaker, educator, consultant, and commentator on the complex nature of crisis leadership. With more than 30 years of experience in hands-on and up-close crisis management, Mike is ideally suited to teach, support, and inspire current and future leaders who dare to stand up and take responsibility for organizations, employee groups, customers, and entire industries … in good times and bad.
Mike Barger knows what matters when the stakes are high — how to behave, what to say, what kinds of teams to assemble, and how to juggle the complex (and often conflicting) expectations of key stakeholders. He has “been there and done that” … in fighter planes over war zones as a TOPGUN aviator, in the corporate C-suite of one of America’s fastest-growing companies, and in the lecture halls of academia. The environments in which Mike Barger has grappled with the realities of leading under immense pressure formed a collective crucible from which he emerged battle-tested and prepared to teach others how to prepare for (and perform during) the most trying of times.
