Today’s Message is: “Competence Day!” Why Not?


“What’s the difference between a competent leader and the incompetent ones? The competent leader knows they can make mistakes and it open to criticism – they’re transparent. The incompetent leader believes they can never make a mistake, they’re always right, they can’t handle criticism, and they always speak and never listen to their people or the examine the climate and culture of their organization. We’ve seen great examples of the lack of competency in recent times.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Fortunately I've had way more competent than incompetent leaders. I suppose it's up to others to decide which category I fell into, but I'd like to think the first.
