[…] Mike Myatt’s latest post over at N2Growth is about Veteran’s Day. Mike spells out very clearly three different Tributes (actually a tribute, a rant and a leadership tutorial) regarding the holiday, our relationship with the military and the definition of quality leadership. Go check out his post titled simply Veteran’s Day. […]

Leadership is a philosophy. Absolutely! Military leadership is their way of life. It is not something that is simply a laundry list to be ticked off for work.

Appreciate the post.

Cheers,
William

In reply to nobilify. Joe, your desctiption of the overview of Russ's life speaks to me of love and compassion and that is what he has demonstrated to me. His dedication to service both in the military and in the army of the Lord will most certainly get a well done from those who know him but, more importantly, from his Lord. I am proud to call him friend! Larry Gardner

Thanks Mike. Great post. Strength and compassion are not mutually exclusive. People can be directed, even commanded, with respect. Leadership is service. If you only serve yourself, you’re not much of a leader.

And we are at war. I am sorry that I often forget that too. No excuse. Every day is Veteran’s Day. The farther we get from that idea the worse off we become.

Thanks, Mike…

That was outstanding, Mike. I share your sentiment. The Department of Veterans Affairs actually put out an interesting video that concludes with ways to thank a Veteran. http://www1.va.gov/opa/vetsday/ Semper Fi
