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


Good “Monday!” Morning “Band of Brothers & Sisters,” and all great connections. Welcome to the new week from the “Colonel’s Foxhole” in The Woodlands, TX — 20 December 2021!


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


“A leader will be faced with many crises. They will need to define the challenges and set priorities. There will be trade-offs in those priorities, and you will have to make smart and tough decisions. Create the ‘A-Team’ and push your decisions downward. As the leader you must embrace action and implement even if missteps happen without delay. That is leader implementation during a crisis!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
