Chad Hennings Biography

Chad Hennings has achieved notable success in a career that spans both professional athletics and military service. Following a nine-year NFL tenure with the Dallas Cowboys, where he was a key reserve on an acclaimed defensive line and contributed to three Super Bowl championships, Hennings transitioned to a distinguished military career. He undertook 45 combat missions in the A-10 Warthog for the U.S. Air Force, earning the Air Force Achievement Medal and an Outstanding Unit Award.

While Hennings' athletic prowess was recognized with an induction into the College Football Hall of Fame and awards such as the Outland Trophy in 1987 and the UPI Lineman of the Year title, his academic achievements were equally notable. He was a unanimous All-American in 1987, named WAC Defensive Player of the Year, and received the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award in 2013.

Post-retirement from football, Hennings has dedicated himself to serving his community, authorship, and public speaking. He is known for his Christian writings, including his 2009 self-help book for men, "Rules of Engagement: Finding Friendship, Faith, and Strength in a Disconnected World." Hennings' speaking engagements often focus on his belief that integrity and purpose are critical to achieving excellence, a message he has shared with Fortune 500 companies, U.S. Government agencies, and non-profit organizations. Beyond his public engagements, Hennings also actively contributes to the Dallas/Ft Worth community through his philanthropic activities and a leadership role in Wingmen Ministries, an organization that encourages discipleship and mentorship of men.

Chad Hennings resides in Flower Mound, Texas, with his wife, Tammy, and their two children, Chase and Brenna.

Living Excellence: It Takes Strategy

Reaching excellence begins with Living Excellence. But in order to be excellent, organizations and individuals must have a clear sense of the meaning and definition of excellence, and then a clear plan and strategy in order to execute a plan of living excellence. Creating organizational excellence takes clear vision, strategic planning, and execution.

Living Excellence: It Takes Commitment

We’ve all heard of the fifteen-minutes of fame or the one-hit wonder. Being on top for a moment is not Living Excellence. Living Excellence takes commitment both in preparation and in preservation. It takes commitment both to be excellent and to remain excellent. Committing to be excellent is certainly hard work but not as hard as settling for the good. Living Excellence takes commitment to a larger vision, to a plan, and to the execution of that plan.

Living Excellence: It Takes Teamwork

The lone wolf is the starving wolf. Organizational health depends on the development and sustaining of dynamic teams. As a T.E.A.M., Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Dynamic teams foster and create cultures of excellence within the workplace, which infuses organizations with more sustainable performance. Teamwork capitalizes on everyone’s strengths while mitigating weaknesses. In order for teamwork to thrive, however, it takes buy-in to the vision, and commitment both to the tactical and strategic aspects of the game plan.

Living Excellence: It Takes Vision

The most talented executives and teams can be the most at risk to be anxious about their performance which in turn may compromise their progress and productivity. This is the result of trying to attain excellence instead of Living Excellence. In order to prevent this burnout, organizations need to create a vision larger than the sum of the organization’s parts. A vision for excellence creates cultures of excellence.
