The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Today's Message is: "Grip Day!" Why not?

The “Colonel’s” VFV Motivational/Inspirational Quotes & Message of the Day!


Good “Tuesday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 3 May 2022!


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


“How do leaders maintain a firm grip on success? Sometimes leaders need to loosen their grip on their subordinates to have better control. They do this by empowering people, while still maintaining their direction, but letting them do what they do best. Learn to surround yourself with experts, create new leaders at all levels of the organization, practice the art of delegation, and become more flexible. If you put the right people in the right places you can learn to ease up on that tight grip, by putting more faith in your team and creating an atmosphere of honesty and truth. That faith, honesty, and truth will be returned many times over!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

You can't be a very effective leader if you can't even get a grip on your own life!
