The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Today's Message is: "Rational Day!" Why Not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Sunday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 4 September 2022!


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


“Can rational leadership and emotional leadership exist together? We expect and train leaders to make rational decisions and at the same time we want them to have the emotional intelligence to appeal and motivate the people they lead. The two can coexist, but leaders should stay away from making decisions based solely on their emotions. They need to make rational decisions based on the facts and the best information gathered within the time allotted. The best leaders will surround themselves with subject matter experts who can provide the facts, assumptions, and skills to allow rational decision-making leadership! Can you balance emotions and rationale as a leader?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. No intro from me, other than to say that I found, what I believe to be a very informative and interesting article, that I share below. It was a difficult choice between two great articles. Have a blessed day today and always.

Thank you Mikel. I just got back from Walmart. Of course no electric carts available. Those Super Stores are sure big. My feet are bellyaching to me. LOL May the rest of your day and night be abundantly blessed, my friend.

One must hope that by the time people get to the point of being considered for leadership the unrational ones have been weeded out. Doesn't always work that way though!

You've got that right Jack... I've worked for some really emotional leaders that left their decision on their sleeves instead really working through the rational course of action... You have a blessed day brother...
