There are
RULES for
LIFE...
And there are RULES for WORK.
At
Freedom Focused, all leaders, managers, trainers, and builders (including myself) are expected to live by certain rules, standards, and codes of conduct. Persons desiring a position of employment at
Freedom Focused must commit to live by these RULES in conjunction with passing all required interviews and tests.
This article also serves as a segue from our discussion of life rules into a presentation of the
Freedom Focused Declaration of Independence and Constitution, two documents that are both seminal and preeminent in guiding the cognitive, behavioral, philosophical, and cultural workings of the organization. Like the United States of America,
Freedom Focused derives its power from its Agents (
The People) as they adhere and otherwise uphold the principles, practices, and tenets contained in the
Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution.
The Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution, or FFCC, has thirteen articles. These articles clearly and explicitly articulate key elements of the organization such as:
- Vision and Mission
- Corporate Rules
- Oaths of Office
- Organizational Pillars
- Pledges of Allegiance and Corporate Anthem
- Values and Standards
- Core Paradigms
- Code of Conduct
- Statues of Authority, Chains of Command, and Organizational Structure
- Corporate By-Laws and Operating Procedures
- Long-term Goals
- Projected Growth Trajectories and Intended Revenue Streams
- Dr. JJ's 13 Rules for Living
Article II contains EIGHT (8) corporate rules that
Freedom Focused Agents (leaders, managers, trainers, and builders) are expected to follow. These rules are as follows:
Freedom Focused
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.
