Leave a comment

COACHES BOX – Leave Right – 07-27-2023
Intro – Always leave something better than the way you found it. King, Queen, Jester, Ms, Shorties, Mammons, Faith,
Mosey to HS Student lot:
WARMUP:
SSH, Mountain Climbers, Low slow squats, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccans
PLANK – Legacy is created by the HIM’s development of Virtuous Leaders
1. Sua Sponte Leader (Latin: “of his, her, its or their own accord”) or suo motu (“on its own motion”) describes an act of authority taken without formal prompting from another party
a. Make the Mission Clear – Completing experiences that are not commonly found else where while also maintain our laid Back Pack attitude.
b. Teach All that you know –Become unnecessary. Work your way out of a job so the group can thrive without you. – Copying my assistants on emails – They can see the examples.
c. Incentivize Individual Initiative while gracefully managing failure – Let someone else lead and guide them along the way. If they fail, accept responsibility in front of the group. Then review the failure, in private, with the leader.
Mosey to Football Field area: Shuffle L / R, Karaoke L / R, Nur,

The THANG
Part I: 4 trips around the square:
2. Schooling: Leadership Training provided – Lead by example
Cone 1: 10 Burpees, 8 Burpees, 6 Burpees, 4 Burpees
3. Apprenticeship: Positive Habit Transfer – Sitting down with a leader on a new process, piece of software, any new skill this person has not done and walk them through it. I have reviewed how to plan a camping outing with a person who has never done it before, step-by-step. I documented my lessons learned and shared this with a timeline.
Cone 2: 40 LBCs, 30 Big Boy Situps, 20 flutter kicks, 20 American Hammers
4. Opportunity: To practice what leader has learned. Means as the leader you will need to give up control
Cone 3: 25 Merkins, 20 Diamond Merkins, 15 Wide Arm Merkins, 10 Hand Release Merkins
5. Failure – An undesirable outcome that builds Leadership Foundation – This is where you will learn the most.
Cone 4: 40 Squats, 30 Bobby Hurleys, 20 Mountain Climbers each leg, 20 Donkey Kicks
Part II: Grab a 1 stone for 2 people – take it to the bottom of the hill
6. Accountability – Setting and Maintaining High Standards in the Team. A Team and Individual needs standards to strive towards. Don’t give up on the person who can’t – Move on from the person who won’t.
DORA – With stone
​100 squats, 50 curls, 50 tricep extensions, 200 chest presses on your back,
​Runs up the hill – Bear crawls around circle at bottom, then switches
1. Lizard Building – Next generation of leaders
a. Be on the lookout for the next leader
b. Once you identify, tell that person why they would be a good leader.
Indian Run back to COT

Closing thoughts:
Have I done all of these? No.
Don’t try to do everything yourself. You are a leader. Act like one and delegate. Too many times in my earliest weeks I took everything on. I soon realized I could not do it all, and started asking for help, nervously at first, confidently soon after (ie Equipping)
Hire the right person the first time. Hiring the wrong person sets the team back and makes everyone wait. Hire based on what the position needs and the person can provide. Person meet the position needs but told they would be limited in providing time. I hired this person when I should have moved onto the next. I was about to confront this person about it not working when that person reached out to me. I wasted 9 months of time and the team spun their wheels until the right person was hired (who is now excelling at the role). (Accountability)

PRAYERS:
Hotcakes has Stage 2 lymphoma and started treatment on Tuesday. All things considered, the treatment went well.
Cohiba’s wife is going back to work
Soup to Nuts wife needs extra prayers as she isn’t feeling well.
38’s in-laws are in town. He needs prayers for patience.
Sugar Daddy prays for patience for our country, sons and Daughters. It is tough growing up with outside social media trying to tell your child how to behave.
Cyclops will be transitioning to his new company within 30-45 days.

Being Present

Leave a comment

It was an honor to spend this morning with so many leaders in our community. 16 was the count for 4.65 miles. The route was as follows: R on 160 towards downtown, L on Main, Cross over Clebourne to Springs, R on Summersby where Springs ends, R on Unity, R on Tom Hall, Cross over Main to Clebourne, R on 160, L into parking lot.

Today’s COT was a reminder of the value in posting each morning. We have the opportunity to live life with High Impact Men that make us better. We discussed fatherhood, health challenges, stress, and being the leaders our community needs. Keep a lookout for upcoming challenges from The Fort’s SLT. We are needed now more than ever.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead, Anchorman. And thanks to the PAX for helping me start my day off on the right foot!

Aye!
