"The Colonel’s Compass: Daily Wisdom for Life, Leadership, and Integrity"
Today’s Message is: “Integrity Day!” Why Not?
“There is a silent contract that a leader has with their team – it’s called integrity.

Mark your leadership by honor and honesty that becomes a reflection in the eyes of those you lead!” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs, CEO, Victory for Veterans, Inc (VFV)
More Awesome Quotes for Today’s Message:

“Integrity is choosing your thoughts and actions based on values rather than personal gain.” — Chris Karcher
“Integrity is doing the right thing. Even when no one is watching.” — C.S. Lewis
“There are days you will interact with people that lack integrity and honesty. It’s tempting to meet them where they’re at. Don’t. Remember their choices are not yours. Your integrity is not optional. Being your best in the face of adversity is the most-rewarding choice.” — Unknown Author
“Integrity, the choice between what’ convenient and what’s right.” — Tony Dungy
“Integrity is everything. How you treat people says more than any accomplishment.” — Unknown Author
“Live with integrity. Choose courage over comfort. Choose that right over what’s easy. Choose through over popularity. Because the legacy you leave is built by the choices you make every day.” — Orlando Espinosa
