The is morning we took Virtuous Leadership on the road. We started at 0600 and kept the cadence of our Sunday morning meeting. We met at the Victory lodge at Wafloy Mountain Retreat. This was during the Forg3 retreat where we studied Virtuous Leadership in the context of q.1 get right, q.2 live right, q.3 lead right, and q.4 leave right.

We did our study of LDP (the leadership development process) as a lead in to studying lead right with Borg . The LDP focuses on another acronym SAOF which stands for:

Schooling – essentially what we are doing with Virtuous Leadership
Apprenticeship- once you have been educated, you work alongside someone who is a leader
Opportunity- you get to practice being a leader
Failure- you have to fail or “court minor disaster” in order to improve leadership. Essentially learn through a series of mistakes.

We were a little slow and sleep deprived to get started. But as per the usual, this was another highly impactful meeting that even with a location change and new faces, we still managed to enlightening conversation that sharped iron.

As guys woke up, our numbers grew and we had lots of participation towards the end. We discuss the SAOF approach and how it applied to being a leader at work and especially with our kids.

Two quotes from Dr Brad Greene who I listened to in a leadership presentation this week.

“We can waste time, but time is never wasted”

When we are empowering a new leader, it takes time and feels like a waste because we can do it faster and easier. But that investment is not wasted time in the long run when you have developed a new leader.

“Fail cheaply”

When I asked Dr Greene about the best way to train a young leader, like my kids, as they don’t teach leadership directly in college. His reply was that kids, or new leaders need to be provided opportunities to fail cheaply. A brand new driver doesn’t need and expensive sports car or luxury vehicle. When the inevitable car accident, bad parking job, or fender bender occurs, that is the opposite of failing cheaply.

Today was an amazing morning, and I am a better man for sharing the insights we had this morning.
