As we celebrate Veterans Day, one value that many Veterans bring to the marketplace, that sometimes is overlooked, is their discipline. The rigorous training many military leaders have received becomes a great asset for the marketplace after they leave the military.

Military training leads many to be disciplined and to exhibit self-control. After being in business for many decades, I have observed that hiring former military often has great results.

Former Veteran’s focused discipline and follow-through frequently make for some top-notch operations oriented people.

Titus 1:8 speaks to the qualities of a great leader when Paul writes, “He must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.”

Honor a Veteran today, and if given the opportunity, even consider hiring one.
