“Great leaders heal the wounds of broken teams! They create organizational team values, listen to issues, stop conflict, and work on problem solving. Great leaders cultivate a climate of safety and respect, along with their shared vision and goals. They ask for feedback consistently and follow-up regularly on progress. Can you fix or heal the wounds of a broken Team?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Of all the wounds that mankind suffers, I believe the hardest ones to heal are the wounds inflicted on us by a very close friend. There is a way to heal from those wounds and it resides in the relationship with Jesus Christ. Have a blessed day today and always.

Forgiving the Wounds of a Friend
Article by Kristie Anyabwile Guest Contributor
I thought we were friends. The pain behind those words can overshadow years of life, love, and memories. All the good times fade to black when a friendship is betrayed. Investment, down the drain. Vulnerability, restrained. Trust shattered. Love questioned. Friends hurt…
I totally agree with you on that Jack. We must therefore pray for those folks. Blessings.
Good Saturday morning Colonel
Hit a note with this one today. Dealing with people who can't understand old wounds that can't be seen is a pet peeve with me.
