Horizontal Relationships (also touched on in depth at 0800 QSource Breakfast); Tribes break off ti hunt in packs with a man at the 12, at the 3, 9 but the most important is the man at the 6. Why? B/C the man at the 6 allows the other men to focus on the hunt versus having to watch their rear for ambush or becoming prey themselves. The man at the 6 also has the only view of the entire pack (or PAX) and can survey situations. While our 6 is not necessarily performing the same job, it shows that all men in the PAX brings value and leadership that needs to be appreciated and gestured. We need to keep the mindset of building up the entire PAX each and every post; “iron sharpens irons” we say but we also know that you need someone to be the stone and someone to be the blade that will be honed and given an edge by the stone. It is up to us to burden ourselves to build up others and if that takes creating agitation or obstacles to mimic the pain and hardship that those that are experiencing mentally, physically, emotionally or spiritually. Once we get into this mindset, the structure and the leadership becomes THE PROCESS (give credit to Swanson on that one); I am the first to admin that I have been angry of recent seeing more of a individualism (Singleton) bleeding into the ranks and that is natural when you bring men together in packs but what we must be careful is that our PAX or Tribe does not turn into a Club or simply an iCal event in our busy schedules for that does not bring the attention and dedication to THE PROCESS. Do we want this to be an association which showing up to get the post count up or to get into shape is the objective? We shall see. Out-MG
P.S. The post was fun to see if spit and who swallowed………
