CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC read this excerpt from F3QSource:
“Sua sponte is Latin for “of his own accord”
In the law, a judge acts sua sponte when he exercises his inherent authority to make a ruling without a petition to do so. He takes the initiative to act on his own accord.
The motto of the United State’s Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment is “Sua Sponte”. It is a recognition that to become an elite Ranger a man must be a triple volunteer: first the Army, then Airborne School and finally the Ranger Regiment. Rangers aren’t drafted, they must make the choice for themselves—three times. They take the initiative to act on their own.
F3 applies the concept of acting on one’s own accord to Leadership through the taking of Individual Initiative (I2 for short) in furtherance of Outcome. F3 calls this Sua Sponte Leadership
The Q is not just a Leader who takes responsibility for the Outcome. He also exercises Sua Sponte Leadership to realize Advantage for his Group, in that he initiates Movement toward Outcome in the absence of directive authority. In other words, the Q is that rare man who will Lead with or without another Leader to direct him. He is That Somebody”
We cannot wait for others to lead. We must take initiative that reflects our claimed priorities.
MOLESKIN:
Sue really acted out today. She made a lot of comments like “hurry up,” “run faster,” etc and was generally ornery. Recalcitrant. Obstinate. Grumpy. Hopefully as she loses weight she will become more amiable.
