Today’s Message is: “Way Day!” Why Not?
“The very best leaders ‘know the way’ by creating a vision that is clear and precise. They bring together the resources and people to make it a reality. Great leaders ‘show the way’ by pulling up their sleeves and getting their hands dirty. If you’re going ‘know and show’ the way in leadership, then you go first!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc. (VFV)
