“Leadership isn’t just simply being in charge. There is what it is and there is what it is not. It isn’t the result of your position that makes you a leader. It is the ability to inspire people and yourself to do things that are greater than themselves or yourself. It is a state of mind, it is a force that drives people and shapes the future!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
