Men of F3Greenwood,
Are you ready to take your leadership potential to the next level? Within F3, a leader is called the “Q,” which is a man who takes responsibility for the outcome. Because F3 is an organization OF leaders rather than an organization WITH leaders, every man is asked and expected to be a Q, both within F3 and in the other groups he is privileged to influence (i.e. his family, workplace, community, etc.). This call to leadership is integral to F3’s Mission, which is to plant, serve and grow men’s small workout groups in order to invigorate male community leadership.
To that end, F3 Nation’s co-founder and current Nantan, Dave “Dredd” Redding, has invested the past several years putting together QSource, the “F3 Manual Of Leadership.” You can hear Dredd share the vision for it on this F3Nation Podcast. While the QSource content is freely available online and can be studied solo, these topics are most transformative when discussed in a group setting. On Saturday, 1/5/19, F3Greenwood will launch the QSource Grinder in order to provide the men of F3Greenwood with this unique opportunity to spur one another on in their leadership development process! Regions all across F3Nation will begin the same journey at the same time. Additionally, the 43Feet Podcast with DarkHelmet and Dredd will also begin discussing the QPoints each week beginning the first of the year. This will give us consistency (the bedrock of leadership!) and relevance in information that is shared and discussed.
The Purpose of the QSG is, as the definition states above, to provide a periodic, purposeful and proximate meeting opportunity between the men of F3 to accelerate effectiveness. The leadership content of QSource contains five Foundation topics followed by four distinct Quadrants of Leadership – Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right, and Leave Right – which are expounded upon through a series of QPoints. Each QSG will cover one QPoint, moving sequentially in the order they are listed.
QSource Grinder…
- Is open to ALL men of F3.
- Last 30minutes.
- Will take place once each week, with time and location to be determined..
- Peer-led. Like our F3 workouts, each QSG needs a Q to facilitate the discussion. A Q Guide has been created to help Qs prepare for each meeting. This will be distributed to all those who sign up to be in the Q rotation for QSG.
Lastly, remember this…While our workouts are great, they are means to an even greater end – to invigorate ourselves and other men to grow as leaders within our spheres of influence. To that end I challenge you to join your F3 brothers for the QSource Grinder!
More information will be coming in the next week or so, as well as a poll to determine the best time and place to hold QSG. If you are interested in helping lead, ping me on Twitter or Slack. You do NOT need to be an “expert” on a topic to lead the discussion; you just have to be able to read and then facilitate the discussion. No one will be “teaching” the material; we are all learning together!
Aye!
