[virtuous-leadership-school] Correction QSource 2.6

June 29, 2025 BackBlasts

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Otis, Scratch-off, Baby Boomer, Borg
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
WARMUP: Stories and Prayer

THE THANG:
– There are some decision making skills we are going to have to have to make it through either side of correcting.
– Scripture – “Anyone who refuses correction is a fool.”
– As a “Moses”, accountability and correction are just what you do.
– As a “Leader”, you are expected to live to a higher standard, but how do you negotiate that conversation when a person being corrected uses your failures, percieved or real, as the reason they use to invalidate your valid, group correction of them.
– Either will be contagious and grow – higher standards or letting things slide.
– Correction – is a good place for
– The serenity prayer.
– Being prepared for the expected, so you can be ready for the unexpected.
– “I correct you because I love you.” Indifference is the opposite of love.
– “Don’t confuse persuasion with correction.” They don’t necessarily need to understand, sometimes they just need to stop.
– When things go off the rail, correction from a place of authority and control is easy and fast compared to the same in a place of volunteers, love and service.
– “Seems like alot of things are the “long game.”

[virtuous-leadership-school] Accountability – Qsource 2.5

June 22, 2025 BackBlasts

AO: virtuous-leadership-school
Q: Borg
PAX: Mermaid, Otis, Spellcheck, Baby Boomer, Borg, Dave, Scratch-Off
FNGs: 1 Scratch-Off
COUNT: 7
WARMUP: Story and prayer time

THE THANG:
– Accountability requires preparation, because it is inherently raw and harsh when.
– A man’s reaction to accountability indicates what is underneath and provides red flags for when his facade cracks under pressure in the future.
– Enablers cut the knees out from under Accountability by giving a “hand out” instead of a “handup.”
– Requires the eright group + timing + approach, but the poor application of any of these does not give the one being held accountable an out.
– “The snitches were the ones who saved my life.”
– How do you do this and not lose a friend?
– Be aware of differing standards – shared virtues (honesty) and potentially non-shared virtues (punctuality)
– “It’s truly a blind spot.” Strange how some people think they have their blind spot under control all by themselves, defies logic.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭8‬ ‭

All the things we watch, listen to and even the types of conversations we have influence us. It influences how we think and eventually how we act, even if it’s unintentional. Usually this starts out as slow and subtle, so we need to be on guard and vigilant for ourselves and our families.

THE THANG:
Ingraining Advantageous Tendencies In Others
A man cannot give away what he himself does not possess

A Habit, standing alone, can be positive, negative or neutral. A HIM must discern between his habits so he can maintain the good ones and eliminate the negative and time wasting habits.

Guardrails allow a man to Accelerate without crashing. Guardrails are: foundational precepts that protect and incentivize Acceleration to Advantage.
