“How does one shine as a leader? Two ways come to mind: Handling a crisis and helping others grow. Leaders can shine in a crisis by guiding people through troubled waters. They shine a light on the problem, they act decisively, ask questions, they measure and calculate risk; and bring all their people and resources to bear on the challenge until it’s resolved. Great leaders will shine a light on their people, acknowledge their contributions, grow their talents, and build up their leadership skills for the future. It’s your time to shine!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
