In honor of Veterans’ Day, I’m sharing an article a former colleague, who was a retired Army Colonel, wrote for me a long time ago.  It’s heartwarming, and is still true today!

With our world in chaos sometimes, maybe we can all use a refresher course in what it means to be a leader?  You can be a leader anywhere – not just in business, but in a volunteer group, a family, a classroom, a play group!  Colonel Bill once said turning to the US military training in turbulent times is often a good place to start remedial training.

With this in mind, read what the U.S. Army says about leadership in relation to its own value system, and then think how this might relate to the civilian world.  And then, ask the more important question, “How well could I measure up?”

Enjoy the following!

DUTY

RESPECT

SELFLESS SERVICE

LOYALTY

HONOR

INTEGRITY

PERSONAL COURAGE

Think about it! And while you are thinking about it, thank a veteran for their service!

 

To Your Vitality!
