COT/BOM
Our mission is simple, “Plant, grow and serve small men’s workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.”  I believe all of us want to be better leaders, and that’s good…but not enough.  Desire with out action changes nothing.  If we want to be better leaders, we need to lead!  In big ways, small ways and every way in between.  That is one of the many things F3 gives us, the opportunity to lead.  The opportunity to grow.  Again, opportunity changes nothing unless it is seized.  The more we practice leading the more confident we are when the opportunity arises.  Today, seize every opportunity to lead presented to you.  That is how HIMs do it!

5 Pax went strong,
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

When we are out in the world are we identified as having the Holy Spirit in us? Read from John 20:27: Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

When others see us, do they see Jesus in how we live and act? We can say all we want that we are followers of Christ, but our actions say more than our words. We need to wear the scars of Jesus; as in the passage, and emit the light of the Holy Spirit daily. When looking at us, we need to be able to be identified as a follower of Christ and wear his scars. It starts first with Family then to Friends and Co-workers.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Manage Up and Manage Down.

Good leaders manage up the chain of command. They understand the perspective of their commanders. They ask questions. They provide information and build confidence. Engage with your higher-ups; keep them in the loop–especially when they frustrate you. Leading down the chain of command means being able to convey the overall strategic mission to everyone downstream, while also giving people ownership of certain decisions, which leads to higher buy-in.
“If your boss isn’t making a decision in a timely manner or providing necessary support for you and your team, don’t blame the boss. First, blame yourself. Examine what you can do to better convey the critical information for decision to be made and support allocated.
