"What day is it?"

Today’s Message is: “Interest Day!” Why Not?


“If leaders want to be genuinely interested in the people or team they lead, they have a laser focus on them, and they’ll prove it by letting the team know it – out loud. Those leaders do their very best to see the world through the eyes of their people. They show empathy and are willing to step into their shoes. If you want to be a great leader, then be curious and care about your team. Show a genuine interest and it will serve you well!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
