Good afternoon Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. Wince Since the word excellence is a synonym for the word outstanding, i I chose to submit the below link about Biblical excellence and critique of Success Theology. I found it to be a bit long so i I wont I won’t paste it here. I believe that if i I seek excellence with God, that i I will portray that attribute in all that i I do . Have a blessed day today and always, as y’all seek to be outstanding in all that y’all do.

I've always viewed being an outstanding leader as developing a team that gets the job done, whether or not I'm there.
