Last week, at Spiderman’s Redwood Q, Spiderman had to split after 30ish minutes, so he gave YHC the last 15 minutes.  Well it turns out, YHC was in the same boat this week, so rather than not Q or show at all, YHC just returned the favor.

If you want to know what happened the last 10 minutes, you’ll have to ask Spiderman.

Good to get back out to Bulldog, even if it was only for 35 minutes.  It’s a great place for a low impact beatdown.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

5 of us got out and put in work on a great morning to get after it.  Come to think of it, every morning is a great morning to get after it.  Maybelline & Whoopee did 1000 step-ups to prep for the Chad.

At QSource, we discussed opportunity.  This is the time in the LDP where you get to own the results.  It’s also the time where other good leaders evaluate you based on the leadership you show, not your field knowledge or personality.

One golden nugget in this chapter was 8 specific character traits inherent to Leadership.  Those are:

1. Dedication
2. Responsibility
3. Loyalty
4. Discipline
5. Integrity
6. Moral Courage
7. Selflessness
8. Moral Standards

If you want to see how you stack up as a leader, have someone evaluate you or evaluate yourself honestly on these 8 character traits.  If you find yourself lacking, you know what to work on.

Another great morning in The Gloom.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead.

It never fails.  I learn something new every time I post for QSource.  Whether I’m leading or just a participant, there’s always something I take away that I didn’t know before.

Over the last couple years, I’ve become a different person, and I owe a lot of it to the men that show up to Coconut Horse every week and have invested in me.  Thanks for your commitment and loyalty and for clearing the thick stuff and sharing your lessons.

Speaking of commitment, it’s what we talked about today.  Turns out, the roots of loyalty run deeper the closer your get to the center of the Concentrica.

Mission First, Men Always means that we’ve got a job to do, but the leader is to make sure that the men are best equipped to handle the mission, and also watch our for their well-being, while at the same time not sacrificing the mission.  It’s fully logical and paradoxical at the same time.

Finally, a SC is not a commitment.  It’s an opportunity to find an excuse.  Either HC or don’t C at all.  Roscoe put it best, saying that if it’s not a “Yes”, than it’s a “Hell No”.

Grateful for another opportunity to lead.
