CoT

A key principle to F3 leadership is the concept of Sua Sponte. Latin for “of one’s own accord,” it’s the idea of giving a man the freedom to lead as he sees fit, including the space to fail. YHC’s oldest 2.0 just turned 16 and there is a struggle to release him to the freedom that comes at this age. Sua Sponte is also one of the mottos of the Army Ranger Regiment. The Rangers believe there is a second corollary to Sua Sponte: that the leader has been equipped with the proper tools and skills to lead. Likewise, with our 2.0s and with F3 PAX, we have two responsibilities: equip them with the tools and skills needed to succeed and give them the freedom to fail.

The 80’s movie soundtrack was met with only slightly more enthusiasm than the crab walks. YHC will calibrate soundtrack choices for the next Q accordingly. Musical Theatre to Get You Moving, perhaps? Sweating to the Greatest 70’s Commercial Jingles? Best of minor league baseball contest winners singing the national anthem? Each member of Jodeci covering “When the Sun Goes Down,” but only the Uncle Kracker part, on loop?

There are options, is what I’m saying.
