COT: The Q-Source poses the following question (I’m paraphrasing): Can you lead a man to a better place without obstacles? My intuition says yes, but after further thought the answer is clearly no. You can’t lead someone to a better place without obstacles, otherwise they would already be there. That also means that, as leaders, we have to get used to pushing others into positions where they face obstacles, an uncomfortable place. Helping others face and ultimately overcome the barriers is key to achieving one’s vision and improving the state of all involved. Start leaning on your F3 brothers, we need it to grow!
