CONSTITUTION Article VII: Core Paradigms

A PARADIGM is a belief or way of looking at something

This week's post continues the publication of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution by sharing ARTICLE VII: Core Paradigms.   

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, or The People, are an
  organization's most valuable asset.

  HUMAN CAPITAL is, and always will be, our most valuable asset at Freedom Focused.

• 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.  

• 

  At Freedom Focused, merit is King.

  Freedom Focused is a corporate MERITOCRACY; it embraces and operates on the following meritocratic principles:

• 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).  

Our presentation of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution will continue NEXT week with ARTICLE eight (8): Agent Code of Conduct.

CONSTITUTION Article VI: Corporate VALUES & STANDARDS

At Freedom Focused, our VALUES & STANDARDS are divided into internal and external categories. In other words, we have standards and values that are organizational-centric and we have values and standards that are customer- and citizen-centric.

INTERNAL Values & Standards

(Organizational-centric)

Freedom Focused values the acquisition, development, and retention of highly intelligent, well-educated, culturally literate, and unusually capable, creative, and proactive SELF-ACTION LEADERS who know right from wrong and are committed to consistently choosing the right; whose dispositions and personalities fit well with their various teams and functions; whose integrity is beyond reproach; and whose continual commitment to abide by and perpetually personify the standards, tenets, principles, and practices of the SAL Theory and Model and Freedom Focused Corporate Declaration of Independence and Constitution is unquestioned.

At Freedom Focused, the GOLD Standard is the only standard.
That is, unless you want to strive for platinum or diamond.

To accomplish this lofty, all-encompassing objective, Freedom Focused herein establishes the HIGHEST STANDARDS—even our GOLDEN STANDARDS—of conduct, decorum, integrity, effort, performance, and results throughout ALL areas and corners of the organization. Freedom Focused exists to attract world-class professionals in every function and position who have previously demonstrated high levels of proficiency, dependability, character, and integrity who seek after further growth, freedom, leadership opportunities, and the chance to perform superior work born of outstanding education, genius, talent, creativity, and hard work. It also exists to train up new and fresh self-action leaders who are just beginning their careers and who authentically desire to serve others and make a meaningful difference in the world through their life's work. We accomplish this by striving diligently and conscientiously to establish a corporate culture that exemplifies and accomplishes the following:

• 
  A continual quest to develop world-class Agents (i.e. leaders, managers, trainers, and builders) who produce high-functioning and synergistic Self-Directed Work Teams (SDWT). 
• High levels of intra-organizational knowledge of—and respect and appreciation for—the SAL Theory & Model and the Freedom Focused Declaration of Independence and Constitution in conjunction with related concepts, structures, functions, and processes.
• High levels of extra-organizational cultural literacy among Agents.
• World-class excellence of individuals, teams, departments, and the organization-at-large.
• The highest levels of honesty, integrity, transparency, and communication.
• Acquisition and retention of top-tier leaders, managers, trainers, and employees through stringent hiring policies, ongoing internal training and development initiatives, exemplary mentoring and role modeling, and conscientious accountability procedures. 
• Production and distribution of ample and regular rewards and recognition for authentic achievement.
• Construction and consistent maintenance of superior facilities, grounds, tools, technology, processes, troubleshooting, R&D, etc.  

EXTERNAL Values & Standards

(Customer- and Citizen-centric)

Freedom Focused exists to meet the SAL-related educational and training needs of its customer and clients in superior fashion borne of an undeviating commitment to the Freedom Focused Corporate Declaration of Independence and Constitution. We accomplish this by diligently and conscientiously establishing a corporate culture that exemplifies and/or accomplishes the following:

• World-class Agent character, education, personality, skills, and results
• World-class pedagogical content
• World-class instructional facilitation
• World-class products and services
• World-class customer satisfaction
• All-inclusive outreach to a United States (primary), Western (secondary), and global (tertiary) clientele based on a first-come, first-serve, customer-demand basis.  
• Holistic professionalism among all Agents and across all organizational Units
• Nonpareil global image and reputation
