Billy Florence: Patton - A Man of Action

When you hear different quotes and learn about General George S. Patton, you can tell he was a man of action. That is an important leadership quality. We are full of great ideas. We all know what we need to do or should do. But taking action on those things is what matters most.

Orrin Woodward says of Tim Marks, "Tim is one of the best I have seen at problem identified to problem solved." What he is saying is that Tim Marks takes action on what he know needs to be done.

Be a person of thought, yes. But we should also work to be men of action like George Patton and Tim Marks...
