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


“It’s Okay if leaders don’t know everything. Leaders that are authentic and transparent don’t have to know everything, but they are willing to admit and learn along their leadership path. Leaders will find themselves on unstable grounds, but they learn to build their inner agility and adapt. Sometimes they need to pause, embrace the challenge, and set a new direction. Its’ okay if you don’t know the answer, shift your approach, confront the challenge, and sometimes you just need to ask someone else!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I think I learned in grade school to be skeptical of anyone who claimed to know it all. I've always believed that it's OK to admit you don't know something, then go out and try to find the answer.
