Today’s Message is: “Still Day!” Why Not?
“Great leaders never stand still and wait for the ideal time to lead. They don't ask for permission, wait for a perfect outcome, or wait to make a change in direction. They take the initiative. Never stand still in your leadership journey; you cause confusion, miss opportunities and waste people’s time!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
