MEN WITH VISION SPOTLIGHT
Brian
Strickland
An example of Vision,
Wisdom, and Leadership
“A wise warrior is better than a strong one, and a man of
knowledge than one of strength…”  Proverbs 24.5
THE MAN OF GOD, HUSBAND,
FATHER & VISIONARY
When you are in a position of
Leadership, you must assess
situations, make decisions, and deal
with the consequences. Sometimes
rather quickly. In a world that is so
complex, rapidly changing, and
uncertain, that can be a daunting task.
Leaders who not only have the vision
of what could be, but also the wisdom
to know how to achieve that vision are
the truly great leaders of our time.
Brian is one of those rare Leaders who
is able to chart a course toward an
articulated goal that others want to
follow.
King Solomon said, “The fear of God is
the beginning of wisdom.” Brian being
someone who looked to God as a
mentor during a time when none can
be found, is a testament to his
humility. With humility, there is an
openness to learn from many different
sources and to keep learning
throughout life.
Leadership is all about seeing and
creating a brighter and better future.
Brian's vision is to help Georgia become
an even better place to live, work and
raise a family. As a direct descendent of
one of the original founders of Henry
County, Brian’s roots run deep in the
community. His family taught him at an
early age that giving back to your
community is one of the most important
roles in life. Brian has taken that and
made it a priority in his own life.
Oftentimes, there are people who occupy
positions of leadership, but their family is
decimated in the process. Assessing the
effect being in that position has on one’s
family is a good way to determine if
things are properly prioritized. Looking at
Brian's family, its clear to see that it is his
greatest position of leadership and one
of greatest importance.
He lives in McDonough, Georgia with his
wife Lindsay P. Strickland, and his two
sons, Charles Willis and newborn James
Beecher.

HIS PHILOSOPHY
"Integrity and honesty is what
drives me. I’ve always been a
person of my word. The true
character of an individual is
tested during difficult
times. It's how you handle
those times, that speaks
volumes."
