Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution
William Gladstone (1809-189 |
"The American Constitution is, so far as I can see, the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man."
—William Ewart Gladstone, FRS, FSS
"Nations, States, Communities, Corporations, Organizations, Schools, Families, and Individuals everywhere would do well to follow the example of America's Founding Fathers by establishing similar, principle-centered documents for the guidance and governance of their own lives and the entities they build and lead."
Dr. JJ
—Jordan R. Jensen, Ed.D.

Corporate RULES
Rule 1: I am always Responsible.
It may not always be my fault, but if it is my problem, it is my responsibility to take ownership of the situation and create solutions.
Rule 2: Integrity is Everything.
I am continually honest with—and true to—others. Just as importantly, I am continually honest with (and true to) myself.
Rule 3: I Want to Be Here.
I work at Freedom Focused because it is where I want to work. If I ever lose that desire, I am at complete liberty to work elsewhere.
Rule 4: I Animate and Personify Self-Action Leadership.
Both inside and outside of the organization, I animate the essence of the SAL Theory, Model, and Philosophy in my appearance, attitude, conduct, and relations. The SAL Textbook is my secular guide to living and working. Freedom Focused is a synergistic sum of its parts, and I am a vital part of that sum.
Rule 5: Elite Followership precedes elite Leadership.
As a FF Agent, I have a deep respect for authority and continually seek to promote, support, honor, and learn from my supervisors at every level of the organization.
Rule 6: Elite Leadership is Servant Leadership.
FF is a T.E.A.M. of teams. As a FF Supervisor, I appreciate and recognize the vital contributions and worth of my subordinates. I promote open dialogue in an effort to seek the input and feedback of subordinates in making wise decisions that benefit everyone involved.
Rule 7: The Gold Standard is my Standard.
At every level and in every endeavor, my standard is EXCELLENCE and my planning, preparation, patience, and performance is ELITE. In setting expectations, I never overpromise and underdeliver; I always underpromise and overdeliver.
Rule 8: I am Proud to Be a FF Agent, and I live to Build, Serve, and Teach.
As a FF Agent, my primary motivator is not money or personal aggrandizement. I value being part of an organization that cares about me and the world-at-large. I take positive pride in my affiliation with FF. As an active expression of my gratitude for the opportunity to be part of this unique company, I live and work to make a positive difference in the lives of those I serve both inside and outside of the organization. My family, community, nation, and world are better places because I live and work at Freedom Focused.

Pledges of Allegiance
Freedom Focused is an American Company headquartered in the Southeastern United States. All FF Agents who are American citizens are encouraged to swear allegiance to the United States of America, and so pledge that allegiance at official company meetings and other designated corporate events (including official work days) where the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance will be individually or collectively recited as follows:I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Honor the Florida flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Florida, one state under God, one and indivisible.
As a token, reminder, and renewal of one's oath of office, all Agents are expected to continually pledge their personal and professional allegiance to the Freedom Focused flag at official company meetings and other designated corporate events, including official daily work days. At all such times, the FF Pledge of Allegiance will be individually or collectively recited as follows:

ARTICLE VII
Core Paradigms
A PARADIGM is a belief or way of looking at something |
Freedom Focused is guided by, and operates under the auspices of, the following CORE PARADIGMS:
- The most authentic kind of leadership is LEADERSHIP by EXAMPLE.
- Comprehending and consistently adhering to TRUE PRINCIPLES is the only pathway to authentic change and long-term success, freedom, and Existential Growth.
- REPETITION is the key to the reception, acquisition, and retention of all knowledge and skills.
- The Quality of the Individual Corporate Citizen is Supreme (1). Organizational results are a mathematically precise, qualitative extension of the collective synergy engendered by the individual self-leadership and self-management decisions of each agent within the organization.
HUMAN CAPITAL is, and always will be, our most valuable asset at Freedom Focused.Human Capital, or The People, are an
organization's most valuable asset.
- Extra-organizational CULTURAL LITERACY and interpersonal APTITUDE is as important as intra-organizational knowledge, proficiency, and functionality.
- Corporate success (or failure) is an outgrowth of the success (or failure) of individuals, groups, teams, departments, divisions, organizations, and companies to become high-functioning Self-Directed and Self-Managed Work Teams. Such work teams require:
- A high degree of Self-Action Leadership exercised by each individual.
- Respect of authority of subordinates.
- Respect, recognition, affirmation, fair treatment, and effective utilization by superiors of the education, skills, personality, and worthy ideas of subordinates.
- A primal understanding and visceral conception that human beings are, in the long-run, fa more influenced by example, kindness, empathy, and compassion than they are by criticism, nagging, or punishment.
Freedom Focused is a corporate MERITOCRACY; it embraces and operates on the following meritocratic principles:At Freedom Focused, merit is King.
- Upon being hired, each Agent receives superior remuneration to one's previous employ as a reward for outstanding merit demonstrated in one's previous positions of entrepreneurialism, employ, education, etc. (See Article X, Section 10.8.2, 10.8.2.1, & 10.8.2.2.).
- Salary raises over time are based primarily on merit-based accomplishment.
- Hierarchical promotions are made primarily on the past achievement and performance merits (both quantitative and qualitative) of an agent under promotional consideration, and only secondarily on issues of seniority (e.g. time at job, accredited degrees held, certification status, etc.).
- Extended positions of formal "tenure" do not, nor will they ever, exist at Freedom Focused. All positions within the organization, from the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) on down to the newest hire, are subject to periodic, merit-based renewal, probation, or termination procedures (See Article X, Sections 2 and 3 for more information about hiring and term renewal procedures).
ARTICLE VIII
Agent Code of Conduct
- When conducting business as an Agent or representative of Freedom Focused Corporation, persons at all levels will demonstrate world-class INTEGRITY, DECORUM, MODESTY, and PROFESSIONALISM in speech, action, dress, grooming, attitude, demeanor, and disposition.
- All Agents are expected to continually exemplify the attributes and affirmations contained in the Freedom Focused (FF) Oath of Office in a good-faith effort to realize the FF Vision by accomplishing the FF Mission.
- When not conducting official business as an Agent or representative of Freedom Focused, individuals are invited and encouraged to be law abiding citizens who wisely continue to uphold the FF Corporate Motto by exemplifying the principles and tenets of the SAL Theory & Model in heed of one's conscience in all of one's personal decisions and interpersonal interactions and relationships. This invitation is extended in the spirit of the great truism taught by Gandhi: "You cannot do right in one department of life whilst attempting to do wrong in another department; life is one indivisible whole." Knowing that one's personal decisions influence and affect one's professional work, we expect our Agents and representatives to govern themselves wisely, discreetly, and morally (to the best of their ability) wherever they are and whatever they are doing.
All Freedom Focused Agents will refrain from using illegal drugs of any kind. Infractions of this policy will result in immediate termination. Issues arising from the use of legal drugs that negatively impact an Agent's job performance will be addressed with disciplinary measures (up to and including termination) and will be levied at the discretion of an Agent's supervising officers.FF Agents are sharp, honest, proactive
professional, and results-oriented.
- Freedom Focused Agents are expected to be law-abiding citizens of whatever nation, state, county, and municipality, etc., in which they reside. Extra-organizational legal indictments will result in interorganizational disciplinary measures (up to and including termination) at the discretion of the Inspector General's Office in consultation with one's supervising officers.

9.12.5. The primary function of Leaders is to develop and supervise other leaders, managers, trainers, and builders they are called to serve, direct, and lead. Their primary focus is the "People" in their units. They teach, train, coach, mentor, guide, direct, and SERVE those they lead. They initiate and facilitate individual and collective goal setting within their units and serve as a liaison between those they lead and the leaders to whom they report. The objective of leaders is to influence their subordinates to remain focused on the Freedom Focused Vision and Mission in conjunction with the SAL Theory and Model as it relates to their own personal and professional progress and Existential Growth.
9.12.6. The secondary function of Leaders is to assist Managers, Trainers, and Builders by facilitating work processes related to the FF Vision and Mission, their own positional stewardships, and other targeted objectives within one's Group and other units. At all times, and at all places where they may be, Leaders stand ready to help out in whatever ways may be needed to get the job done within their designated Group and other units.
9.12.7. The LEADERSHIP CORPS is commanded by a Level 1.1 CEO. A Corporation consists of separate Companies (up to 13 total). Rank Insignia: Six (6) silver arrows in a silver quiver. A single diamond is also set on the quiver to further designate the CEOs status as Corps Commander of the Leadership Corps (FF FIRST CORPS).

9.12.10. Each Company is dedicated to one of the 13 Freedom Focused Arenas of Stewardship and is commanded by a CND 2 Executive Vice President (EVP) and member of the Executive Leadership Board (ELB). A Company consists of 1-5 Organizations and up to 15,625 Agents. Rank Insignia: Three (3) silver arrows in a silver quiver.
9.12.11. Each Organization is commanded by a CND 3 Senior Vice President (SVP). An Organization consists of 1-5 Divisions and up to 3.125 Agents. Rank Insignia: Two (2) silver arrows in a silver quiver.

9.12.16. Each Agent is commanded by a CND 8 self-action leader. Rank Insignia: Gold Quiver with zero (0) arrows. All Freedom Focused Agents are considered self-action leaders, and therefore receive a gold quiver insignia pin following their completion of basic training—even if they end up wearing a different insignia for their functional position.
9.12.17. When an Agent is hired, he or she received a solid "Black Bar" non-medal measuring the same dimensions (1.25 x 0.50 inch) of other official FF medals and should be displayed above the right pocket of one's work uniform. At the discretion of one's direct reports (EO and FM), he or she may have one's black bar removed upon demonstrating FF-quality work in conjunction with an independent willingness to be competent, proactive, cooperative, dignified, reliable, and respectful. All new Agents will wear his or her black bar non-medal for a minimum of six (6) months after being hired. Supervisors up the chain-of-command have authority to remove an Agent's black bar at any time after the six-month mark depending on a supervisor's judgement of an Agent's worthiness to have it removed. A new Agent has one (1) year to earn the right to have one's black bar removed by an EO or FM (usually a new hire's direct supervisor). If, at the end of one full year, the black bar has not yet been cleared for removal from one's uniform, the Agent will be relieved of his or her position and employ.
9.12.18. Executive Officers may hire deputies/lieutenants, specialists, administrative assistants, and other staff members on an as-needed basis with the approval of one's superior officer and Human Resources. HR has oversight over all hiring decisions throughout the Corporation and will work closely with Executive Officers and Managers in making hiring and firing decisions. Once a candidate has been approved by HR, final decisions regarding hiring rest with Executive Officers and Managers.
9.12.19. Unit Executive Officers possess veto power over all decisions made at lower levels within their hierarchical line of authority and jurisdiction.

9.13.1. Corps Insignia: Silver or Gold Target. Corps Logo: Golden Eagle. Corps Gemstone: Ruby

Note: ALL Freedom Focused Agents are technically part of the Management Team because everyone is expected to be a self-action leader who effectively regulates, disciplines, and otherwise manages oneself. Thus, individual Agents are responsible for effectively managing themselves according to the principles and practices outlined in the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution (FFCC) and the Self-Action Leadership Theory and Model.
9.13.3. The Chief Operating Officer (COO) serves as the Senior Commanding Officer (SCO) or Corps Commander (CC) of the Management Corps, also known as the Freedom Focused SECOND CORPS.
9.13.4. Managers at the Division level and up must be at least 30 years of age and possess a bachelor's degree from an accredited university—or demonstrate commensurate personal and career education, competency, and achievement as judged by Human Resources in consultation with EOs making the final hiring decision.

9.13.6. Larger units may have multiple managers perform different functions within a single unit. Multiple managers within the same unit will carry the same official rank and CND. However, Executive Officers have the authority to assign differing functions, objectives, tasks, authority, and unofficial hierarchical rank among various managers within his or her unit.
9.13.7. The primary function of Managers at ALL levels is to assist the Leaders in meeting targeted objectives by supervising and facilitating the work undertaken by Trainers and Builders in the Groups, Teams, Departments, Divisions, Organizations, Companies, and the Corporation they manage. Their work involves the management of policies, procedures, tasks, processes, schedules, goals, etc. Their primary focus and stewardship should be on the "Processes and Things" in their unit.
9.13.8. The secondary function of Managers is to assist Leaders in developing other Managers, Trainers, and Action Builders within their designated unit[s]. They serve as a liaison between the Leaders and the Trainers and Builders. Like Leaders, Managers stand ready to help out in whatever ways may be needed to get the job done within their designated Group and units.
9.13.9. Corporation Managers supervise at the Corporation level (CND 1.5). Their function is to manage "Things" (i.e. policies, procedures, processes, tasks, schedules, goals, etc.) in the Corporation and to assist the CEO and ELT as requested and assigned. Rank Insignia: Silver target with five rubies placed in three rows — with two rubies on the top row, one ruby on the target's bullseye, and two rubies placed on the bottom row perfectly aligned and parallel with the top row.
9.13.10. Company Managers supervise at the Company level (CND 2).

Rank Insignia: Silver target with three rubies — one ruby at the center-top of the target and two rubies at the bottom corners of the target to form a triangle.
9.13.12. Division Managers supervise at the Division level (CND 4). Their function is to manage the "Things" (i.e. policies, procedures, processes, tasks, schedules, goals, etc.) in their Divisions and to assist Junior Vice Presidents as requested and assigned.

Rank Insignia: Silver target with two rubies placed parallel to each other in line with the bullseye, but evenly spaced in between the bullseye and the edge of the target.
9.13.13. Department Managers supervise at the Department level (CND 5).

Each Department consists of 1-5 Teams. Rank Insignia: Silver target with one ruby placed in the bullseye position.
9.13.14. Team Managers supervise at the Team level (CND 6). Their function is to manage the "Things" (i.e. policies, procedures, processes, tasks, schedules, goals, etc.) on their Teams and to assist Team Captains as requested and assigned. Each Team consists of 1-5 Groups. Rank Insignia: Silver Target with zero rubies.
9.13.15. Group Managers supervise at the Group level (CND 7). Their function is to manage the "Things" (i.e. policies, procedures, processes, tasks, schedules, goals, etc.) in their Groups and to assist Group leaders as requested and assigned. Each Group consists of 1-5 Agents. Rank Insignia: Gold target with one ruby set in the target's bullseye.
9.13.16. Agents supervise at the individual self-action leader level (CND 8). Their function is to take complete responsibility for one's own self-management and to assist Group managers and Group Leaders as requested and assigned. Rank Insignia: Gold target with zero rubies. All Freedom Focused Agents are considered self-action leaders, and therefore receive a gold quiver insignia pin following their completion of basic training—even if they end up wearing a different insignia for their functional position.
9.13.17. When an Agent is hired, he or she received a solid "Black Bar" non-medal measuring the same dimensions (1.25 x 0.50 inch) of other official FF medals and should be displayed above the right pocket of one's work uniform. At the discretion of one's direct reports (EO and FM), he or she may have one's black bar removed upon demonstrating FF-quality work in conjunction with an independent willingness to be competent, proactive, cooperative, dignified, reliable, and respectful. All new Agents will wear his or her black bar non-medal for a minimum of six (6) months after being hired. Supervisors up the chain-of-command have authority to remove an Agent's black bar at any time after the six-month mark depending on a supervisor's judgement of an Agent's worthiness to have it removed. A new Agent has one (1) year to earn the right to have one's black bar removed by an EO or FM (usually a new hire's direct supervisor). If, at the end of one full year, the black bar has not yet been cleared for removal from one's uniform, the Agent will be relieved of his or her position and employ.
9.14. THIRD CORPS: The Professional Training & Consulting Corps (PTCC)
9.14.1. Corps Insignia: Arrow. Corps Logo: Silver Fox. Corps Gemstone: Sapphire
9.14.2. The Professional Training & Consulting Corps consists of Professional Trainers & Consultants (PTCs). These "Trainers" and "Consultants" are responsible for facilitating training programs, giving speeches, providing consulting work externally for clients and customers, and leading internal training seminars and workshops for corporate Agents and units.
9.14.3. The Chief Training and Consulting Officer (CTCO) is a member of the ELT, carries a Corporate Numeration Designation (CND) of 1.3, and serves as the CORPS COMMANDER of the Professional Training & Consulting Corps (PTCC), also known as the Freedom Focused THIRD CORPS.
9.14.4. Trainers and Consultants must be at least 30 years of age and have a bachelor's degree from an accredited University — or demonstrate commensurate personal and career education, competency, and achievement as judged by EOs making the hiring decision.
Note: This age-standard may be lowered for individual courses that require less life and career experience to properly and effectively facilitate (viz. youth and young adult training courses) or for other, relevant reasons. Exceptions to this rule must be approved by the CTCO.

"If a [person] is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry.

Dr. JJ's 13 Rules
Dr. Jordan R. Jensen Founder, CEO, and Master Facilitator Freedom Focused LLC |
RULE 1.
RULE 2.
Self-action leaders allow one's conscience to be one's guide |
The goal of SAL is BALANCE |
RULE 4.
Self-Action Leaders are introspective and penitent before Universal Laws |
RULE 5.
Never insult or contend. Focus instead on facts, positive elements of a situation or circumstance, and common beliefs in a never-ending effort to teach true principles and lift others to see broader vistas and obtain firmer footholds along life's continually treacherous physical and metaphysical journeys.
RULE 6.
Find my true voice (discover who I really am) as soon as I can, develop that voice with all my heart, and then sing out shamelessly to the best of my ability and opportunities in a way that inspires and empowers others to do the same.RULE 7.
A Freedom Focused Knight imbued by SAL |
Be wise as a scholar, but avoid sophistry and selfishness. Be strong and brave as an elite warrior, but do not profane or be vicious. Be clever as a fox and shrewd as a Hollywood actor or corporate lawyer, but never engage in deceit or manipulation. Be as skilled and precise as a world-class surgeon, but eschew ego. Be eloquent as a polished politician, but let my words ever speak the Truth in the sincere service of all human beings. Be ambitious and successful like the famous, but flee hedonism, concupiscence, and substance abuse. Fight, endure, and win like a world-champion athlete, but never mistakenly view myself a demigod. Use my God-given talents like a proactive and productive genius, but never dismiss, nor forget, the Source from whence they sprang.
RULE 8.
In the end, the only real failure is to quit. Learn therefore to Labor and to Wait.** And remember that it is in my preparation, performance, and patience that I ultimately possess my soul (see Luke 21:19).
RULE 9.
Develop reasoned responses to life's two great imposters—Triumph & Disaster.***RULE 10.
Be a DOER, not a drag; be a CREATOR, not a critic; be an EXAMPLE, not a judge.****
As a token of my commitment to be an example of a doer and a creator, pick up at least one piece of trash each day that I did not throw down, and read, write, recite, or do at least one thing each day that contributes to my own (or someone else's) personal wisdom, freedom, and Existential Growth.
Self-Action Leaders everywhere have so much to be grateful for. |
Take nothing for granted, and in everything give THANKS.
RULE 12.
Spend all my time and money on things that will either directly or indirectly contribute to the acquisition of wisdom, freedom, and Existential Growth, the accumulation of worthy experiences, memories, and relationships, and the proactive pursuit of meaningful service to others.
Wisdom is the principle thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. — Proverbs 4:7
Cultivating the paradox of my own
insignificance coupled with my limitless potential:
That is the essence of Rule 13.
RULE 13.
insignificance coupled with my limitless potential:
That is the essence of Rule 13.
Always remember that my own best efforts are insufficient to help me become all I am capable of becoming. I desperately need continual help from others and the omnipotent Power and Grace of the Almighty to fully engage the utmost existential transmutation of my body, mind, and spirit.
