“Take time to pause and reflect on your accomplishments last week and what you will do next week!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Saturday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots!” Welcome to the weekend from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — 16 November 2024!
Today’s Message is: “Pause Day!” Why Not?
“Taking a pause in leadership is important, when making some decisions. The pause can be the difference between success and failure. Pausing to listen to feedback is just as important. It shows respect for your people. Sometimes you can’t pause because the ‘OPTEMPO’ of leadership won’t let you, but when it does, pause and take time to reflect on your goals and values!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

I am a natural redhead.
Yes, the stereotypes apply to me. Quick temper? Check! Fiery tongue? Check! Rousing this poked bear is risky — at any given point I might bubble over with excitement or boil with rage.
When…
Fools rush in. Great leaders pause and reflect before doing anything.
Good Saturday morning Colonel.
