THE BOOK
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
The above quote from Isaiah 6:8 best describes the thirty-eight year career of Lieutenant General James B. Vaught (USA ret.). From his first permanent duty assignment until retirement, Vaught frequently found himself in the position of being selected for some type of special assignment or mission. His attitude and answer were always the same: “We’ll get it done.”
The “We’ll” in that statement was the key to Vaught’s success. He never forgot the Army required teamwork from the most junior private to the most senior general. It is not an organization that can have one person going off and doing his own thing. Nobody succeeds alone.
