“Great leaders focus on actions not intentions. Good intentions without action can be meaningless. If you want the desired outcomes, then you need to take your best intentions and turn them into viable quality actions. Leaders must follow through from their intentions to the actions that lead to tangible results. It’s achieved by effective communication, aligned expectations and vision, continued growth, learning and development, and closing the deal – accomplishment or failure. Then you learn or correct your intentions.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
