Learning from the Marines

Retired Gen. Tony Zinni knows what makes the Marines elite.
The U.S. Marines often draw the toughest duty.
They make up with brains and guts what they lack in numbers.
In Gen. Zinni's “Battle Ready”, you will be struck by how Marine values apply to any team that wants to develop pride, professionalism and a competitive spirit.
Our son Mark gave me a copy.
It made me examine my own values.
Marines realize they are not vital to the nation's existence.
Yet Marines offer unique values we admire and respect.
Values we can't afford to lose.
Does that describe your team and the role you play?
Does your team represent values people admire?
Are these values we respect and can't afford to lose?
We believe our little newspaper does.
We're glue to hold our community together.
We celebrate the best and uncover the worst.
We allow citizens to keep an eye on their government.
We show if our officials are good stewards of our money.
We alert residents to crime and other threats to security.
We report on how well our children are schooled.
Gen. Zinni cites eight values the Marine Corps offers.
Would you like a copy of all eight?

I hope these values will inspire you and your people.
