WARMUP: Chat and Prayer

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

Welcome Cart Girl (John Sadler) (Chatt, TN) from Chattanooga who provided initial guidance on leadership Discussion groups in his region

THE COMMON GOAL: Consistently invest the time necessary to grow into Virtuous Leaders surrounded by men we know we can trust.

THE THANG: Discuss how our individual beliefs create a personal lens that affects how we attempt to lead with examples of successes and failures. Today, specifically, CANDOR.

MARY: Team exercise: Stretch our mindsets by listening and connecting to each other’s worlds, looking for what’s missing/hesitations, laughing and commiserating.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Unanimous team agreement to move to a different place and time. We crave sustenance and warmth in the wee hours. Details to come.
2. UpandRunningAgain has started and the men are seeing improvements after only one week. Goal: We started with 12, we will end with 12 at The Secret City Half Marathon. You can still volunteer to run alongside these men who are working thru rehab programs. It may change your life. Reply here or DM Borg for details.

[qsource-ao] Kickoff for QSource AO

AO: qsource-ao
Q: Borg
PAX: Mermaid, Spellcheck, Borg, Steam
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Chat until 6a.m.

THE THANG:
Started at 6a.m.
Discussion points
1. Vision is for this to grow. Everyone attending can take this and start a new one. The ET Super Region is an easy drive through the valley.
2. QSOURCE AO best practices doc and standardization to maintain duplicatability.
3. Leadership must be Nant’an style, all are prepared to lead each week, just in case. Imagine an Indian warrior just itching to step in and take the lead.
4. Flag Care – the standard seems to be to keep the flag in the vehicle, protected, and the shovel anywhere it will fit.
5. Pushing rope – how do you know when you are? Discussed Examples of getting to know someone who was a pain, and then having a better appreciation for them after knowing their story.
6. How many of your close personal friends have accepted your invitation to F3? For at least two of us it was zero.
7. What is Mutual Competence? Discussed Flesh Anchors and Twelves and the ad/disad of the two. Is there always a Flesh Anchor? QSOURCE says every team has one.
8. So much more as the sun rose on a beautiful morning.
9. Every activity must include an attitude of training.
10. Every activity must include discerning when you are picking up the six vs when you are dragging a flesh anchor who has quit and is just dragging others down. This is a really tough one.

Stopped at 7a.m. But, then discussed what worked and what didn’t in this kickoff, see the AAR, below.

COT:
AAR
Sustain:
1. Q being prepared with notes.

Change:
1. Start by reading the QPoint and Socratics.
2. Plan to split into groups of 3-4 for a specific time period to discuss specific items.
3. Explain the lingo, when necessary.
4. Everyone, be concise when speaking. Be Spartan, “laconic”, in the use of words, so we don’t box others out. The Spartans respected brevity in speaking.
Closed in prayer.
