****THE F3 FIVE LEADERSHIP VIRTUE ****
C……

C…..
Commitment Unwavering Loyalty To The Group And Unflinching Determination To Accomplish It’s MissionLoyalty requires abandonment of self, Commitment is the second of the five F3 Leadership Virtues—the Habits and Ethics of moral excellence. Commitment has two components, unwavering loyalty to the Group and unflinching determination to accomplish the Group’s Mission. The former is focused more upon the Group as an entity and the Members that comprise it while the latter concerns the Purpose for which it was formed. Because he is Committed, the Virtuous Leader is both loyal and determined.
