The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!
Good “Thursday” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters, Connections, Friends, & Patriots!” Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in Conroe, TX — June 12, 2025
Today’s Message is: “One Way Day!” Why Not?
“If you think leading people and organizations can be done in ‘one way’ then think again. Leading involves constant changes, adapting to new situations and challenges. There is no ‘one way’ to lead or give directions to people. Make sure your leadership toolbox has many different approaches available to provide direction and guidance!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
