“How important is it as a leader to pay it forward? Great leaders that mentor and coach their team today pay it forward by how well that team performs in the future. They celebrate big and small wins with the team and say, ‘thank you!’ at every opportunity. By paying it forward in leadership you show a real concern for the team’s needs and how it carries over to the next generation of leaders. Leaders feel good about themselves because they are making a difference in people’s lives. When leaders pay it forward, they are passing on their knowledge, experience, and integrity. Are you ready to take responsibility for making a difference in the lives of others through your leadership by paying it forward?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
