2023 Q Source – The Manual for Virtuous Leadership

Leave a comment

Leadership is a skill that a person must learn and master during their lifetime rather than an attribute of their character with which they are born. As a skill, it is like learning to play the piano. If it were an attribute, it would be like having blue eyes or a square jaw.

Because it is a skill, a person must commit to learning to lead in the same way that they would learn to play the piano. The degree to which they will ultimately master it will depend both upon their natural ability and their willingness to practice. Because we are all born with some leadership ability, even a man with very little natural skill can still be an effective leader if he is willing to practice hard. But a man who will not practice at all will never master the skill even if he is born with the heart of a lion. The decision to become an effective leader is volitional. No one else can make it for you.

-Dredd

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. With that mission in mind in the Fort, we continue in 2023 with Q Source by starting from the beginning in an effort to practice the skill of leadership. We will begin with a Foundation discussion on Disruption on Tuesday, January 2nd https://f3nation.com/q/disruption/

For those who may be new or unfamiliar with Q Source, it is the “field manual for leadership” within F3 consisting of 54 Q Points meant to accelerate a man through his G3L (Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right, Leave Right). Weekly discussions follow the Q Points and encourage accountability, vulnerability and encouragement from fellow Pax which lead to positive impact in your home and workplace. While weekly attendance is encouraged, Q Points offers the ability to keep up with the content if you have to miss a week.

Tuesday mornings at Baxter Starbucks

6:20 – 7 AM
