Good morning Col Burroughs. Love that we are back talking about leadership today. I believe that if you have a well trained team, what you do is let them know what needs to be done and then you get out of the way and let them do it. Clear the roadblocks for them; make sure they have the resources they need but understand you are not the expert in the nuts and bolts of the job. And then praise and pass along every bit of credit you can.

The leadership principles I learned in the Army served me well during my almost 40 years of leading teams. Find the best people you can, tell them what needs to be done and get out of their way. Encourage them to let you know when they need help or have questions. Just one of the great things my time in the Army taught me.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - I would agree. And if you can't agree to submit to an inspection for wires prior to a debate, I would argue that that does NOTHING to bolster your credibility as a leader. And if your side has to cheat to win an election, I'd say that even THEY know they don't have confidence in what they are offering as remedies to the problems facing this nation. One side is producing results despite the best efforts of the other side to thwart success, and the other side is creating chaos and blaming the opposition for it. SMH. I don't know of any PERFECT leaders except Jesus Christ and even He was controversial.
This nation is going through a rough patch. Pray for our leaders, and for our continued existence as a free and sovereign nation!

I hope that you are focused on serving and serving selflessly those who rely on you for leadership, advice, teaching and training. Many in this current generation of leaders seem to be self-absorbed and devoid of true wisdom which is the fear of the LORD. I expect that you are spiritually mature enough to be a servant leader. 'For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word. “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” [Galatians 5:13-14 ESV], my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
Thank YOU, LORD, for demonstrating to us that true leadership is selfless and focused on lifting others up from spiritual poverty, corruption, and faith in foundations of shifting sand.
I lift the prayer warriors who are interceding and the family members earnestly praying for salvation for loved ones to YOU. 'For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.' [Matthew 7:14 ESV]
I lift the people enduring in Portland, Seattle, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C. and other places were radicals and thugs are rampaging to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU do all that is required to protect the peaceful people and bring destruction down on the heads of those intent on evil.
I pray for mercy on this land. Deliver us from those who are focused on destruction of families, destruction of the foundations of faith and trust, and destruction of law and order. ‘When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. [Psalm 61:2]
Far too many in this land of the USA as well as Canada, Mexico, UK, Europe, India, China, South Korea, Japan, Philippines, Australia, and New Zealand are fooled by those who preach faith in their own faith; faith in beauty which is fleeting; faith in political power which is often on a foundation of sand, and wealth which can be destroyed overnight. 'Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. “Because lawlessness is increased, most people’s love will grow cold. “But the one who endures to the end, he will be saved. [Matthew 24:11-113 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Good “Tuesday” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from the light blue skies and wispy clouds of the Greater Boston Area... where we are enjoying (?) a temperature of 39° with a 63% humidity and winds W 7 mph... I can hardly wait to head back to sunny FL!
Today is: “Leadership Attributes Day!” Why Not?
1) "If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” - John Quincy Adams
2) "Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." - John Fitzgerald Kennedy
3) "You don’t lead by pointing and telling people some place to go. You lead by going to that place and making a case.” - Ken Kesey
4) "No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself, or to get all the credit for doing it.” - Andrew Carnegie
5) "Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it’s amazing what they can accomplish.” - Sam Walton
6) "The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly." - Jim Rohn
"We all take a stab at what leadership is all about, and it probably stems from whatever perspective one believes... However, In my view, the below quote by Colonel Burroughs pretty much delineates a defining one..."
“Value added attributes which every leader should possess are being great role models, positive inspirers, proactive enablers, and awesome achievers which take little or no credit, but give credit willingly!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Great quote today on what makes up a leader! I'd like to add that a great leader doesn't have to order a good follower to do something! They have been told what to do and they do it because of their leadership! Have a great day!

Great point PVT Mark Zehner enjoy the day and let me leave you with my final thought Mark...
“My perspective is I agree with Peter Drucker’s quote that ‘leadership is define by results’, but I disagree on his final point, ‘not by attributes’. Leadership attributes are just as important for leaders to be successful and for them to reach the desire results. Without those attributes’ leaders won’t build the next generation of leaders and to me growing leaders or bringing them to the next level is just as important. May you always learn, understand, and utilize leadership attributes to add value to your leadership style and daily activates; may you always have those inspiring and motivating attitude attributes with each day; may your mind, body, and soul be open to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a bountiful life; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy. Attributes like being a role model, an inspirer, an enabler, and the achiever should be the building blocks for leader development with action as the final output and result” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
