20 SSH IC, 5 Burpees OYO, Mountain Climbers, Tappy Toe Merkins, and Plank Jacks.

The Thang:
Q SOURCE TRIVIA!

• How many Q Points comprise the Q Source? – There are 50 Q points in the Q source
• How many segments is the Q Source organized into? –  There are 4 Quadrants
• Can anyone name the first quadrant?  – “Get Right”
• What is the definition of the Get Right? – “The Pursuit of Proper Personal Alignment.”

5 Burpees OYO for all incorrect or non-answers. (We got in a lot of burpees early on)

In the Get Right Quadrant of the Q source we study and pursue Proper Personal Alignment: this requires a man to accelerate his fitness and prioritize his Concentrica with proper relational rhythms. And to build the guardrails of regular study, prayer, and meeting with others in growing his faith.

Exercise: Sevens OYO
Dips on the guardrail > Bear Crawl across the road and up the hill > Copper Head Squats

Q Source Trivia continues: 

• What is the second Quadrant of the Q source (aka “Q2”)?   –  Q2 is the “Live Right“

In Q2, The Live Right, a man who has and continues to Get Right shifts his perspective to other men whose boats are capsized. The High Impact Man is unstoppable and effective to help other men, and also able receive help and correction graciously and eagerly!

Impact is an acronym to go look up and study. The F3 definition of Impact is: “Forcible contact to strong effect.” This REQUIRES proximity.

Exercise: Partner DORA 123
100 merkins, 200 Big Boy Sit-ups, 300 Squats – trading out with your partner to get more hard work done faster than you could have possibly alone. This is only a glimpse of the power of a locked shield.

Q3: What is it?!  – The 3rd Quadrant of the Q Source is the Lead Right

• What acronym does the virtuous leader need to remember in developing his leadership skills?  VAPE
• What Letter does the virtuous leader need to remember in developing his leadership virtues? The 5 C’s

More penalty burpees doled out for missing answers!

The leadership SKILLS a man must have and continuously practice to effectively lead are remembered with the acronym VAPE:
   Vision
   Articulation
   Pursuasion
   Exhortation

Without these skills – no matter how virtuous or “good” a man is – he will be ineffective as a leader. He will not accelerate his group to advantage by leading in any way and at best can maintain status quo. Although this nice guy is well liked, he is not a leader and the group will be a Bull-Frogish institution that is going nowhere.

The leadership VIRTUES a man must have and continually practice to be a leader of virtuous character are remembered by the 5 C’s:
Candor
Commitment
Contentment
Consistency
Courage

A man may be an effective leader skilled in VAPE, but without the guidance of virtue he will lead the group away from advantage. Most famously recorded as an example is Adolf Hitler: a leader who Articulated Vision and used Persuasion and Exhortation to make much happen but to evil, self serving, and destructive result on a massive scale.

Thus, the High Impact Man we train to be necessitates that we are always working at both the leadership skills and leadership virtues.

Just like we work at our physical fitness: This requires ongoing practice, relational accountability, and constant adjustment.

Hence the term Accelerating. The HIM is always accelerating because he has done the bricklaying work of building the guardrails in Get Right and invests time and energy in the relational accountability of a Shield Lock for the benefit of his Concentrica but will never “arrive.” We accelerate, but the work of a virtuous leader is never done!

The team led by a leader who possesses both the virtues and skills will be a LIZARD not a bullfrog.

Q4: Leave Right

Trivia: What is the definition of “Leave Right?” – No answer!?!?!? No worries, burpee penalties are done. : D

COT
Leave Right is “The construction of Legacy”

If you are looking for your purpose: it is probably not what you are called to do, but rather WHO you are called to serve.

The Sky Q has put you on this earth at this time. There are men in your life who need you. Your M and Shorties need you most! In the Live Right we study dedication to Purposefulness. In Leave Right we leverage relationships, our unique talents and strengths, and the leadership skills and virtues to build a legacy in the lives of others.

Prayers for health and safety through the holidays.
Prayers of gratitude for the relationships F3 has brought into our lives and the blessing this is to our M’s, shorties, teams, and community.

Also YHC was honored to have Bogo and Rapid Fire, my blood brothers, post today visiting from F3 Spring Hill (TN) and F3 West Cobb!!!

Further notes from F3 Cococrisp of Raleigh, the creator of the original version of this workout:

What exactly is the QSource?

The QSource is the integrated expression of F3’s leadership philosophy.

It is the F3 leadership manual. It is designed to be used by F3 members to improve their leadership skills for the benefit of their families, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

At its highest level, there are 50 Q Points touching on different aspects of leadership. With 5 Foundational Q Points and the remaining Q Points divided into 4 Quadrants.

A student of the QSource will find themselves getting right, living right, leading right, and ultimately, leaving right.

You can spend countless hours reading about and studying the QSource and I bet you’ll learn more and something different each time. For starters, here are a few resources that will help you get going:
