The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the weekend from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” on the road in Minneapolis, MN — 5 August 2023!
Today’s Message is: “Convince Day!” Why Not?
“If leaders want people to follow them, they have to compel them, not convince them. Leaders who see it only as their way use power to push and those that see it as our way, use strength to compel people toward a purpose and vision.. Use your personal strength to compel, not your power to convince!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
