"Paying attention to detail" is a sure fire way to get a return on your investment. The more you pay attention the more you learn and the more you can earn in life as a whole. Since CV-19 many people have become attention bankrupt, we need to pay attention to those not paying attention so this doesn't become the next "pandemic." Lack of attention to detail can be very harmful, even deadly in and under certain circumstances.

Large Armies are built out of individual soldiers...Large buildings are built from individual pieces.. I know that every program I ever wrote was built on individual keystrokes. Groups of keystrokes building lines of code, lines of code building the app. Each keystroke was a potential bug...The truth was in the details....Armies, buildings, applications. Quality comes from attention to detail.

Good morning Col Burroughs and all my Brothers and Sisters here on VFV. I happened to be reading an article that relates to the topic today. It is about God being in the details. I found it a good read and I hope y’all do as well. Have blessed day today and always.

Attention to detail is essential, but it shouldn't become an obsession. Some of the worst leaders I've encountered were so detail oriented that they never made any decisions, they just gathered more details. One needs to establish an attitude towards dealing with details early in life in order to be truly successful. .

Absolutely Jack, as a leader let your experts get in the weeds. Great leaders hover above the weeds brother...
