Champion Leadership • Leverages Strengths • Is authentic

Responsible freedom Detached Interdependence Reflective Action Grounded Vision Integrity Adaptive Confidence Appreciative Inquiry Authentic Engagement Tough Love

Ever Increasing Integrity FSL is the movement toward ever increased levels of personal and collective integrity. “Ever increasing integrity is the alpha and omega of Leadership” Quinn

Detached Interdependence Humble and strong

“I’ve discovered that when you free players to use all their resources – mental, physical, and spiritual – an interesting shift in awareness occurs. When players practice what is known as mindfulness – simply paying attention to what’s actually happening – not only do they play better and win more, they also become more attuned with each other.

“And the joy they experience working in harmony is a powerful motivating force that comes from deep within, not from some coach pacing along the sidelines, shouting obscenities into the air. ” Phil Jackson on detached interdependence

Appreciative Inquiry Optimistic and Constructive

Authentic Engagement Principled and ethical while also involved and engaged

Tough Love Assertive and bold yet compassionate and concerned

Adaptive Confidence Adaptable and flexible while confident and secure

Grounded Vision Grounded and factual while also hopeful and visionary

Reflective Action Active and energetic while also mindful and energetic

Responsible Freedom Spontaneous and expressive while selfdiscipline and responsible

"Responsible freedom: becoming truly self-confident and free, to unconditionally be responsible for oneself, without being coerced to accept some higher authority. "
