“Great leaders always show genuine concern for their people. If they don’t think a leader doesn’t care about his people, they could care less what you know about anything. It’s not what you know that makes a difference, it’s how you care and your actions that mean the most to people!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
