F3 Naperville Leadership Team
Meet The F3 Naperville Shared Leadership Team in the gloom who continue to build the next 43 feet in our region!
NANT’AN:
The Q of the Region.
It’s his problem.
Cheerleads.
Primary telegram line
to The Nation.
WEASEL SHAKER
“Shakes the weasels” and makes sure everyone’s doing what they are supposed to do.
Loves spreadsheets, rules, and details.
Keeps the ear to the ground and finger on the pulse of the PAX.
1st F Q
Ensures the smooth running of the AOs.
He makes sure that Site Qs are doing their jobs
Also helps to plan and execute CSAUPs
He holds regular Q Schools to encourage leadership of workouts.
Chief Naysayer on anything that doesn’t allow PAX to be “Freed to Lead”.
2nd F Q
Mr. Party Pants.
Whether it be Happy Hour, family picnics, Christmas Parties, or Coffeeteria, this is the guy who makes the donuts.
The CommzQ is his best friend, as he attempts to get Pax motivated and excited about Fellowshipping together.
3rd F Q
Understands the needs and wants of his Pax.
Can plant anything from an open discussion group to a regular community service opportunity for Pax. His role is the essence of F3. Male COMMUNITY Leadership.
Lizard Q
Hype man. Getting PAX out of their comfort zone makes him tick. Master disruptor who is always looking for an opportunity to challenge the status quo. Plans, organizes and executes CSAUPs. Works closely with the 1st F Q and Site Qs to plan CSAUPs and the Commz Q to hype up pre-event and follow up post-event.
Growth Q
The Growth Q is all over expansion and retention.
BFF’s with the Weasel Shaker to keep stats and geographies top of mind.
Seeks, tests, and launches new AO’s
Recruits, champions, leads, plants, taps a shoulder, then steps aside back into the gloom seeking new land to plant new AO’s.
COMMZ Q
Keeps PAX connected.
Beats the drum to keep the community together.
Chief announcement dude and social media maven.
Twitter, Slack, FB, IG, Website, Newsletters, etc. are the tools he uses.
Reasonably tech-savvy and does not support the Oxford comma.
COFFEE Q
After a good morning beatdown we love a good cup of joe. The Coffee Q coordinates supplies and equipment across the region to make sure AOs have onsite Coffeteria at least once a week at every AO.
Gear Q
Very few people know the difference of Tri blend and polyester fabric. They also know the importance of a SVG graphic to make a decent item. The Gear Q sets up seasonal gear drives with MudGear to keep the PAX looking and staying cool in the Gloom.
Tech Q
When all of the technology and communication hits the fan the Tech Q is first on the scene. Without the Tech Q Slack, the website and all of our databases would crumble into tiny little pieces. This is a thankless job but an important one so we know when we can brag when we hit that next beatdown mile stone.
SITE Q TEAM
SITE Qs
The F3 Ambassadors, if you will. Every man’s first impression of F3 will likely be guided by the work of these men. This is where the rubber really meets the road.
He makes sure that the core principles are kept intact, which is impossible to do if HE ISN’T THERE. So, the inferred commandment is, BE THERE. Every time. Period.
He plants the flag for the AO, makes folks feel welcome, makes sure the disclaimer is correctly spoken, picks up the 6, etc.
He manages safety for the site (don’t post if there is a bunch of lightning, that sort of thing).
He champions the Q schedule. Practices Voluntoldism…
He sells the AO, the Qs, and the Mission of F3.
He harasses Qs to write BBs, etc.

Starfish Model
A Starfish is a distinct type of organization. It is flat, having no hierarchical governance or tangled bureaucratic web. Most organizations are Spiders, in that they invest tremendous power into a single leader. However, cut the head off of the Spider and the body dies. In contrast, a Starfish has no “CEO”, just a cultural/spiritual Leader situated in the vague center of the confluence of appendages that comprise the Starfish itself. Bereft of institutional power, he must persuade to lead. Each of the appendages of a Starfish is self-sufficient. If cut-off it grows into a Starfish of its own. The Starfish then grows a new appendage. F3 chose the Starfish as its organizational model in order to harness the genius and energy of the many leaders within its ranks.
