The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Sunday!” Morning! “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots.” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 29 September 2024!
Today’s Message is: “Real Day!” Why Not?
“What is real leadership? It’s not about being liked, giving into the status quo, or even saying what people expect to hear. Real leadership is about sacrificing, not giving into threats, and not caring about what people may say. Real leadership is action, not words, it’s results, not ineffectiveness! A real leader may not be liked or even hated, but can leave one hell of lasting impact!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Sunday afternoon Colonel.
Great leaders understand that you're not going to please all the people all the time. Rather they have a set of beliefs and experiences that guide their decisions, and thus show the real reason they were selected to be a leader in the first place.
