Free, Peer-led Workouts for Men in Boston
F3 is a global network of workout groups with leadership at the regional and global levels. All members of leadership are volunteers - no one is getting paid to do this. The executive leadership team for F3 Nation can be found at https://f3nation.com/leadership/.
The F3 Boston region is in the process of building out it's own leadership team. We call it the Shared Leadership Team (SLT). This team will be tasked with guiding men as force multipliers to continue to accomplish our mission so men can reach their full potential. Most leadership positions rotate every so often. The leadership positions have funny names, so details are provided below on exactly what they do.
In addition to specific responsibilities outlined below, all SLT members should:
Lead with empathy
Be on the lookout for men in need of F3
Be actively working out (Fitness)
Attending as many Fellowship events as possible
Collaborating with other SLT members
Maintaining a presence on the regional Slack
Attend quarterly SLT meetings (video conference)
TAKE YOUR LEADERSHIP TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH FREED TO LEAD AND QSOURCE
The cultural and spiritual leader, who represents but does not govern. He encourages men to Plant, Grow, and Serve and ignites the need for male community leadership.
Responsibilities:
Constantly pursue expansion opportunities
Represent our region to the Nation (F3 Nation Slack)
He gives men a shake when they try to weasel out of their commitments. He is a best practice investigator, implementation specialist, rule embracing, spreadsheet-loving, detail-oriented sort that helps the Region accelerate.
Responsibilities:
Ensure Q's post backblasts
Monitor the regions data and report trends and opportunities
All about Fellowship. Fellowship is community. Men today are desperately lonely. The 2nd F Q focuses on helping men build and deepen relationships.
Responsibilities:
Plan regular get-togethers outside of workouts where men can hang out and get to know each other better.
It's a miracle these guys can do anything without and IT Q. Male relationships are at the core of F3. Technology can't replace it - but it can be leveraged to help enable it.
Responsibilities:
Keep the backend technology running smoothly
A man dedicated to keeping the drum beating so men know where, when, and how to live in community.
Responsibilities:
Keep the men of F3 connected (e.g., Slack, newsletter)
Help reach new men (e.g., social media)
Each workout location has one. They make sure core principles stay in tact and that every new man to show up gets a first-rate first impression.
Responsibilities:
Ensure there is always at least one person at each workout
Ensure a Q has been assigned ahead of time (have a backup workout in case the Q falls through)
Ensure new guys are welcomed warmly and followed up with after the workout
