This week’s QPoint (4.7) was Equipping. We had great discussion about putting a team together that plays to each members strengths, rather than teaching skills where we are weak. We had a dynamic conversation about marriage and the “mission” & “submission”. I think we all continue to be amazed at how relevant this material and subsequent conversation this is every single week. This is a time worth the sacrifice on Sunday AM.

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

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
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.

COT:
Faithfulness in Small Things

Verse:
“Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much, and whoever is unrighteous in very little is also unrighteous in much.” – Luke 16:10 (CSB)

In our lives, both physically and spiritually, it’s often the small, everyday actions that build character and lay the foundation for bigger victories. Whether it’s showing up for workouts, making the right choices in relationships, or committing to daily prayer, consistency in the little things makes a man truly strong. It’s through these daily disciplines that we prepare ourselves for greater responsibilities and challenges.

Quote:
“I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it.” – Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson’s words remind us that what seems like “luck” or sudden success is often the result of consistent, unseen faithfulness. The small steps we take every day prepare us for when bigger moments of leadership and opportunity arise. Let’s strive to be faithful in the small things, knowing that it is through these that we grow into the leaders we are called to be.

[virtuous-leadership-school] Q Point 4.1 Sua Ponte Leadership

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Mermaid
PAX: Borg, Baby Boomer, Spellcheck, Mermaid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
We had a fire, we had hot coffee, and we had four men willing to talk about hard things. Today it was centered around Sua Ponte Leadership, those are big words that we broke down into how we need a mission to be effective leaders. The team needs to know the mission so that they can be prepared. It was a tremendous morning, and I value this time together.
