“Leadership is about getting people to work together to reach a common goal or vision. It’s all about teamwork. Leaders have to put together the right team and combine all of their strengths and overcome their weaknesses. They build relationships with people that are based on trust, loyalty, dedication, and communication. Effective leaders never use threat tactics or undo pressure. They build an effective team through cooperation, sharing ideas, and empowerment. Together each member can make valuable contributions toward mission success. Are you building a team that works together?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
