Colin Powell, retired four-star general in the US Army and 65th Secretary of State, is a person most would consider as someone who could get the job done. He valued intelligence, integrity, and loyalty as a means of balanced living. General Powell had a talent for organization and looked at life pragmatically. These character traits afforded him leadership opportunities throughout his career.
Loyalty proves to be a keen integrative factor and, coupled with realistic goals and operational excellence, can drive a group of people or organization forward. Add a balance of intelligence, judgment, and critical thinking and the results can be astonishing. It takes commitment, dedication, and loyalty to the vision to supersede egos. Loyalty fuels the stellar pursuit to witness fantastic results.
Take a moment this week to ask someone about his or her story. My guess is that you’ll be amazed at what you learn!
Have a wonderfully, amazing week!
