“One of a leader’s primary jobs is to bring out the very best version of the people they lead, not to create friends. Leaders need to connect people toward a deeper purpose and mission. They remove barriers to help their team members become successful, they coach them on a regular basis, and always challenge them to be a better version of themselves. Are you a leader that acts like a coach focusing on leadership, bringing out the best version in others, and being the best version of yourself?” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
