His mission ultimately is very clear regardless of the organization he is working with, we don’t get what we want, we get what we are committed to. We don’t get what we want, we get what we are COMMITTED to.Ronnie Doss Ronnie has authored two books: Leading Lions and Dig. He is also the host of The Emerge Podcast.
