Introduction
Another cold winter morning, but thankfully we didn’t have any wind to cut through us at 3R this morning.
Warm-O-Rama
Short WoR, so we could maximize our time in the Leadership Development Process (LDP). I briefly covered that this WoW theme showcased the LDP and noted that everyone should be prepared to lead at any moment.
Abe Vigoda’s x10
SSH x20
Willie Mays Hayes x10
The Thang
Used the LDP beatdown that Den Mother cooked up. Established four locations where we completed the following exercises after moseying to each stop:
- Squats x20 IC (on my down)
- SSH x25 IC
- LBCs x20 IC
- Burpees x10 IC (on my down)
I led the first iteration through the circuit noting several times to pay close attention to the locations, the exercises we did at each location, the number of the exercises, the cadence, and tempo I used to lead the exercises. I even went as far to reiterate the number and type of exercise we completed at the previous stops with the intent of instilling the entire circuit into everyone’s memory.
Spikehorn took the reigns and led the second iteration, then passed on the lead to Webster. Webster then passed on the lead to Carpet Mulcher, and finally, on to Six Sheets.
The intent behind this was for Spikehorn, being the only man present who had not yet conducted his VQ, to have an opportunity to get the taste/feel of leading a Q with a “master cordwainer” still by his side ready to step in, if needed.
The remaining men who led each circuit had previously only conducted their VQ, so this served as a refresher opportunity for them.
Circle of Trust
Shared the message and points word-for-word that Den Mother provided and added in some noted examples from this morning of how we experienced all four steps, Schooling, Apprenticeship, Opportunity, and Failure of LDP. Great feedback provided by Spikehorn where he shared that leading us through a circuit today gave him the needed confidence to prepare for his upcoming VQ!

Prayers for our brothers Burnt Ends and Soft Hands, their families, and especially, their mothers!
