Execution 101

If Strategic Goal Execution was only as easy as the diagram above!  Michael Mink with Investors.com recently wrote an article titled, Execute Company Objectives By Nurturing Accountability.  The author quotes Sean Covey, Chris McChesney and Jim Huling from their new book The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Make Your Most Wildly Important Goals Happen.  Their book will be released in just a few short weeks!

Michael goes on to write about tips every leader should consider: Prioritize, Act, Fuel the Fire, Create Accountability, Evaluate, Enable, Energize.

At FranklinCovey, we have boiled down execution into 4 key steps that we like to call, The 4 Disciplines. 

They are:

·         Focus on the Wildly Important
·         Act on the Lead Measures
·         Keep a Compelling Scoreboard
·         Create a Cadence of Accountability

Once organizations “install” The 4 Disciplines of Execution through our Manager’s Certification Process, they typically outperform the initial goals set in place.  Goals that have never been achieved can be achieved in months.  This transformation happens, simply because organizations are now able to get their middle performers to behave like their top performers.  In many cases, it is a 4X improvement, which has a dramatic impact towards the bottom line!

Watch this video below and allow Chris McChesney, our Global Execution Practice Leader, to provide you with more information.

 

Be sure to follow me on Twitter so you’ll know when the book is released.  I am positive it will be one of the best-selling business books this year!

All the best!
