Today’s Message is: “Bloom Like Flower Day!” Why Not?
“How does good leadership bloom like a flower? Creating a good culture (like cultivating good soil), clearing obstacles (pulling the weeds) to make the path forward clear, nurturing and challenging the team (watering in between rains) keeps growth alive in the organization, and encouraging the progress and success (smiling at the flower that blooms) provides a sense of renewed action and purpose.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Thank you Brother Mikel. Enjoy your day my friend.
Like in the westerns, "You can't keep a good man or woman down". Integrity is strong gun powder.
COL when I was a freshman in college I had a friend who was the son of a Preacher. I was not a member of his church but became good friends of the family through their son. Your quote of the day made me think of what his mother would sarcastically say when we were up to no good. She would tell him, "son I think it is time you bloom, and see what the world is about." That her subtile hint that he needed to find an apartment or house to rent but he needed to move out. I loved his entire family, FYI I am pretty sure she was serious. haha
Hmmmmm, at our ages we need to think about blooming or being fertilizer pretty hard. I like your quote again today. For me the best part of being a leader, in military and civilian life, was watching those who I had influence over learn and bloom as future leaders.
