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


“Great leaders put the right people in the right place. They have the ability to find people with the qualities and skills necessary to complete the desired results. Things will change, so leaders have to make the necessary adjustments and the right person in the right place may no longer be the case. Leaders have to prepare for changes and be ready to move people around to get them in the right place. Are you a leader that makes people successful by putting them in the right place at the right time?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
