PREPAREDNESS…
Getting Ready For The Expected While Being Ready For The Unexpected

The process of Preparedness is deliberate and sequential

He could have the heart of a lion and still fail for lack of a critical ingredient, and that is love. If he does not love the people he leads more than he loves himself he cannot put their interests above his own.

Action without vision is only passing time, vision without action is merely daydreaming, but vision with action can change the world.
Nelson Mandela

“The will to prepare has to be greater than the will to win.”
-Bobby Knight

WARMUP: Opening prayer, order food and coffee(water for Floppy)
THE THANG: Leadership Development Process
Statement: The process employed by a group to develop new leaders.

Socratic:
*Is a Leader born or made?
*Are there common elements to leadership development?
*Should the leadership development process be controlled from the top of an Organization?
Spur:
*Great Leaders develop new Leaders
*The LDP has 4 steps: Schooling, Apprenticeship, Opportunity and Failure
*The LDP depends upon decentralized execution to central purpose

We spent some time discussing “Is a leader born or made”. General consensus was that they are made, although certain people are born with favorable qualities that give them a good head start.

The 4 common components of an LDP; Schooling, Apprenticeship, Opportunity and Failure are not necessarily a staged process. These can happen simultaneously and often should. The kicker mainly being the intentionality of the Leader to plan and construct this process.

Floppy Disc helped us understand the last Spur, pointing out that many good organizations have decentralized execution to a central purpose. There may be a leader at the top but most have many other leaders executing the mission in the best way for their team.

MARY: Discuss making positive habits from our monthly focus of the Get Right Qpoints. Finishing up the Daily Red Pill and hopefully it provided the habit to focus on the good, right thing daily. Prayer
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: the whole thing
