Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.

Next Homer led us out the entrance to a brand new feature of the AO. Stairs to the overflow parking lot. There we had 4 coupons and they started with the 4 Qs then passed among the PAX on each trip up and down the stairs. Each PAX also stopped for 10 squats at the top and bottom portions.

Who is it that we say we are?
If you get tired, learn to rest.
There is no quitting.
You don’t get to decide when you can stop.
Who is it that we show people we are?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Homer came out victorious mainly due to votes received for use of AO. Thanks to all who participated in 1 or all 4 weeks. It was great to see some bonding between the regions through this event. Don’t be afraid to cross the river.
