“Strong leaders don’t need to look for validation. They look to grow themselves and others. They aren’t surrounded by ‘yes’ people. Leaders have people that will push back, say ‘no’ because they have been empowered to reach for better strategies. Never lead for validation. Inspired people will validate your leadership effectiveness!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc.
