CONSTITUTION Article VIII: Agent Code of Conduct

This week's post continues the publication of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution by sharing 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.

• 

  FF Agents are sharp, honest, proactive
  professional, and results-oriented.
  
  

  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.  

• 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.  

Our presentation of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution will continue NEXT week with ARTICLE nine (9): Statues of Authority, Chains of Command, and Organizational Structure.

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

Our presentation of the Freedom Focused Corporate Constitution will continue NEXT week with ARTICLE seven (7): Core Paradigms.

   Vision and Mission

CONSTITUTION Article II: Corporate Rules

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:

1. 
   Vision and Mission
2. Corporate Rules
3. Oaths of Office
4. Organizational Pillars
5. Pledges of Allegiance and Corporate Anthem
6. Values and Standards
7. Core Paradigms
8. Code of Conduct
9. Statues of Authority, Chains of Command, and Organizational Structure
10. Corporate By-Laws and Operating Procedures
11. Long-term Goals
12. Projected Growth Trajectories and Intended Revenue Streams
13. 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.
