WARMUP: Variations of back stretching

THE THANG: One bag with 75lbs plus a 60lb sandbag. We each carried the heavy for .25 miles, then stopped for PT, passed the heavy, and resumed our trek down kingston pike, over the gallaher view bridge, and back via the greenway. This was 135lbs and next we will bump up 30-40lbs as we train for the 200lb mile.

MARY: none we were late, but additional back stretching was suggested on your own

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Rucksgiving 11/30 and a litany of other things found in the newsletter or announcements tab in slack.

COT: training to be a leader, and a shameless plug for Forg3. The more we do things like read the bible, the more relevant those passages become, at least for me. As a few of us have been studying leadership, the same holds true. By studying, we are finding ourselves to be better prepared as leaders.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Team Development (delayed post)

Q: Borg
PAX: Spellcheck, Mermaid, Borg
FNGs: None
COUNT: 3
WARMUP: Prayer, coffee and a fire

THE THANG:
Discussed Team Development in real life. Below are some interesting questions brought up by the PAX that can reflect on both the leadership and members of a team.

– John Pryne lyrics – “How can you work all day, come home and have nothing to say?” Like men sitting in a bible study group week after week and never saying anything.
– If guys don’t have something to say, what are they studying? Who are they interacting with? What’s on their mind?

How do you know if you are on mission as a team? Failure is easy to see, but what does success look like? This brought up the recurring issues of
– Being Aware
– Evaluating
– Adjusting

Maybe one of the most important things in Team Development is removing the wrong people, soon enough. We discussed times we had chronic problems with team members and how the delegation (or lack of delegation) of responsibility to us helped, hindered, or blocked resolution.

Some men seem to see F3 as a club, not as a team- what’s the difference? Others seem to see it as a team and make adjustments to the Qs to fit the team needs and capabilities.

How you communicate and how it is received are both critical to staying on mission.

We discussed the 80/1 Rule that was described in this chapter. The 1% cannot be delegated.

We discussed how we had dealt with situations where we were put in charge, but not allowed to set the standards or given the authority to make corrections with chronic problem team members.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Forg3 Leadership registration is open – Jan 24-26. Limited to 20 PAX due to the facility. Registrations are filling up.
– EFHR is coming up in the Spring, possibly in March.

COT: Closing prayer and lots of good talk after the closing bell.
