COT: Q-Source (Q1.8: Whetstone)

  • A knife is sharpened by a whetstone
  • To whet is to put on an edge so that it is sharp, ready for use, and dynamic
  • HIMs act as a whetstone to sharpen other men – aka "Blades" (Stephen Covey calls it "sharpening the saw")
  • In Q-Source vernacular, "Sharpening" is the process by which a whetstone equips a blade for leadership.
  • HIMs don’t wait for retirement to serve as a mentor or "Stone" for others
  • Mentorship helps the Stone as much as it helps the Blade
  • The Whetstone relationship helps close a HIM’s own hypocrisy gap
  • Helping a "Blade" build guardrails takes a HIM out if his own selfishness and self-delusion (the fuels of hypocrisy)
  • Using straight talk and taking hard looks at ourselves – both the Stone and Blade are better prepared for life come what may
