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

THE THANG:
Joy vs Happiness?
Which of these makes you more durable, softer? Is it true that the more happiness you get, the more you need, like a drug addiction?

Key Redirect: Is being discontent a bad thing? What are you discontent about? Are you discontent because you are complaining or because of a red flag?

Discontent can indicate that something is off mission. Provide specific examples of discontent to discuss – we ended up discussing IPC, because it is current and seems to cause some PAX in F3 Knoxville to not post. So, we considered, “Is it on mission for F3 and for F3 Knoxville?”
1. “Does it grow small workout groups for men?” – If not on mission, is it causing some PAX to not post? This will interrupt their consistency every September.
2. “Is not posting during IPC, an individual PAX problem or an IPC mission problem?”
3. “Do we need to disrupt the status quo of IPC to make it better serve F3 Knoxville?” – Maybe. Most important is to support each AOQ in what they do, Then consider alternatives that allow a longer time frame to complete each workout, maybe Saturday or nomad workouts in September.
4. “Do the workouts seem to be just bigger and badder or are they valuable as planned or does it matter?” Interesting discussion, no conclusions.

MARY: Because the depth of our discussions cannot be duplicated in a backblast:
1. Each work to build a VL mtg in proximity to our AO.
2. Think about framework for a Leadership Convergence. We have a great core of respondents from the Leadership Survey.
3. Seek more contributors for the 3rdF channel. Kudos to ExciteBike (Micah Stair) for posting recently.
4. Continue IPC discussion for F3 Knoxville to clarify why there is discontent and how to resolve the discontent if it is valid.

THE LENS:
4 who aspire to become better leaders had great 2nd/3rd F discussions about what unwavering, unflinching focus on commitment looks like across multiple commitments and how we apply the Sabbath principle of rest into the busyness, including who do we listen to as we balance the our commitments.
“I’m committed more, when I’m committed less.” – Mermaid
