Good morning from cold Northern Virginia. We've been colder than Michigan lately at least overnight.
Competence. An underrated skill. Just because you have a degree or you've been put in a position by someone or by the public doesn't mean you are competent. We're watching this happen daily. Competence takes practice. If you know and stay within your circle of competence, you will be fine. If you want to increase it, do the work! Don't claim what you can't back up, it will come back to bite you.

Currently low 40s here in the mitten. Leadership is key to us as vets/Active. I think even when you're not in a supervisory position you can still be a leader. Great post.

Excellent I couldn't agree more Lt. Colonel Charlie Brown. Competency requires practice.
Because mistakes made in practice are often our best teacher. Better to make those mistakes in a class room. Lab or other controlled environment rather than on a mission where mistakes can mean fatal.

Love Warren Buffett!! I'm paraphrasing as I don't know the exact quote but he made mention that even he picks up a penny on the sidewalk as it's money that he didn't have before.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs. I like the Steve Covey quote. Every choice we make is a moment of truth...even the small choices. For they add up to bigger ones. What happens when you couple competence with character? Covey also answers: trust. "Character includes your integrity, your motive and your intent with people. Competence includes your capabilities, your skills, and your track record." Cheers.
