CoT: Q-Source defines preparedness as follows: Getting Ready For The Expected While Being Ready For The Unexpected

Within F3 a leader is called the Q, which we define as a leader who takes responsibility for the Outcome in the Groups of which he is a Member.

Some Outcomes are envisioned beforehand by the Q while others are thrust upon him by unexpected and sudden circumstance. For envisioned Outcomes, the Q can anticipate and get prepared for what will be expected of him to be Effective. But the Q cannot do that for unexpected Outcomes because they come upon him suddenly–for those Outcomes he must already be prepared to be Effective.

As a result, to Effectively respond to both the envisioned and circumstance-driven Outcomes that arise along the his path, the Q must gradually but consistently accelerate his Preparedness through the process of becoming more Right in the Mission essential aspects of his life. He does this by pursuing Right-ness in four distinct quadrants: get Right, live Right, lead Right and leave Right. Together, these four quadrants form the G3L:

– First Quadrant (Q1): Get Right

To properly align himself the Q takes the Daily Red Pill (the DRP). This is his daily commitment to accelerate his fitness, fellowship and faith.

– Second Quadrant (Q2): Live Right

To be purposeful the Q focuses on IMPACT. This is the forcible contact to strong effect that the Q will have on the other Members of his Groups if his personal alignment is proper.

– Third Quadrant (Q3): Lead Right

To practice Effective leadership, the properly aligned and purposeful Q continually hones the skills he needs to enable his Communities to be healthy, his Organizations to be Effective and his Teams to be dynamic.

– Fourth Quadrant (Q4): Leave Right

To build a legacy, the aligned and purposeful Q exerts Disruptive leadership with IMPACT throughout his lifetime and beyond.
